Secondary bacterial pneumonia rates were significantly higher in the RSV group.
The authors said the findings may help develop environmental risk alerts.
Of those at risk, 622 (32%) received an antiviral.
Studies tied oseltamivir to lower odds of death, shorter hospital stays, and lower rates of readmission, and onradivir and oseltamivir to speedier symptom relief.
Estimates varied from 2008 through 2018, with RSV-associated antibiotic prescribing exceeding 10% in peak RSV years and flu-associated prescribing exceeding 20% in peak flu years.
