About

This study evaluates nirsevimab, an antibody-based preventive measure for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Spain. Using a multi-criteria decision analysis framework, experts found that nirsevimab adds value by effectively preventing RSV and potentially reducing hospital costs and health inequities. The study compares it to placebo and palivizumab, highlighting its benefits in broader infant populations with minimal adverse effects. Overall, it suggests that nirsevimab could improve public health awareness about RSV prevention.
