  • Pneumococcal and non-pneumococcal aetiology were defined according to composite diagnostic standard (pneumococci were detected by either blood culture, urine immunochromatographic BinaxNow Streptococcus pneumoniae test, good quality (ie, >25 neutrophils and <10 epithelial cells per high-power field) sputum Gram stain or culture, or whole blood lytA real-time (rt) PCR). ORs are reported as increase per single unit of the respective risk factor, for example, per year (age), per point (CURB65 score), per cell/µL (CD4 count).

  • CAP, community-acquired pneumonia; SP-CAP, pneumococcal pneumonia.
