  1. Data are n (%) or median (IQR). The data presented in the table encompass the cases with clinical information among the hMPV-positive samples that underwent successful G gene sequencing. These samples were collected in Beijing during the period from 2014 to 2024. B2 represents subgenotype B2 in 2014–2023. B2 (2024) represents subgenotype B2 in 2024. P values were calculated by Kruskal-Wallis test, χ 2 test, or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate
