Abbreviation: RSV, respiratory syncytial virus.
aAnnualized rate is calculated using the cumulative number of RSV-related hospitalizations from September 1, 2016, to August 31, 2019, as the numerator and the 2016 Ontario census multiplied by 3 as the denominator.
bUnsuitable housing refers to having more household members occupying the same dwelling unit to live comfortably together, according to the National Occupancy Standard. Unsuitable housing is divided into quartiles due to disproportionate distribution of cases when in quintiles.

Abbreviation: RSV, respiratory syncytial virus.
aAnnualized rate is calculated using the cumulative number of RSV-related hospitalizations from September 1, 2016, to August 31, 2019, as the numerator and the 2016 Ontario census multiplied by 3 as the denominator.
