LRTI, lower respiratory tract infection; MRR, mortality rate ratio; CI, confidence interval; ref, reference; NA, not applicable because of too few events to calculate MRRs; CRP, C-reactive protein.

a MRR estimates are calculated using cox-regression.

b MRR estimates are adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity, smoking, and alcohol intake (except when stratified by variable).

c Chronic pulmonary disease: ICD-8: 490–493, 515–518. ICD-10: DJ40-DJ47, DJ60-DJ67, DJ68.4, DJ70.1, DJ70.3, DJ84.1, DJ92.0, DJ96.1, DJ98.2, DJ98.3.
