Hospitalized bacterial infection types by cohort. Only infection outcome types containing 5% or more of infections are shown. Some hospitalized infections were associated with more than 1 discharge diagnosis (e.g., pneumonia and bacteremia). Percentages were calculated with the total number of hospitalizations as the denominator.

Infection Type Number in JIA Number in ADHD
Upper respiratory tract 110 (30%) 1544 (35%)
Pneumonia 87 (24%) 891 (20%)
Bacteremia/septicemia 67 (18%) 523 (12%)
Urinary tract/pyelonephritis 65 (18%) 402 (9%)
Skin and soft tissue 44 (12%) 616 (14%)
Abdominal abscess 20 (6%) 629 (14%)
Gastroenteritis 30 (8%) 331 (8%)
Total hospitalized infections 365 4,398
