A) Cases of pneumonia (defined as International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, codes 480–488), including children not enrolled in the study (n = 9,950). B) RSV-positive cases (n = 1,270), by subgroup. The shaded area represents the total number of children enrolled in study (n = 4,225). The horizontal ribbon on top of the chart denotes the dominant RSV subgroup for that year. We assigned 2013–14 as an RSV-B–dominant season for the purposes of modeling, although the numbers of RSV-A and RSV-B cases were almost equal. Orange vertical lines denote the Chinese Spring Festival; dashed vertical lines indicate divisions between seasons. RSV, respiratory syncytial virus; RSV-A, RSV subgroup A; RSV-B, RSV subgroup B.
