Popis: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination during pregnancy in preventing lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in infants and neonates, we conducted a systematic search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in five databases (PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Cochrane Center Register of Controlled trial) until 1 May 2023. We performed a meta-analysis of the eligible trials using RevMan5.4.1 software. Our analysis included six articles and five RCTs. The meta-analysis revealed significant differences in the incidences of LRTI [risk ratio (RR): 0.64; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.43, 0.96; p = 0.03)] and severe LRTI (RR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.18, 0.79; p = 0.01) between the vaccine group and the placebo group for newborns and infants. These differences were observed at 90, 120, and 150 days after birth (p = 0.003, p = 0.05, p = 0.02, p = 0.03, p = 0.009, p = 0.05). At 180 days after birth, there was a significant difference observed in the incidence of LRTI between the two groups (RR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.21, 0.90; p = 0.02). The safety results showed a significant difference in the incidence of common adverse events between the two groups (RR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.12; p
