aIPD: Invasive pneumococcal disease.

bNPP: Non-bactaeremic pneumococcal pneumonia.

cIn all studies by Smith et al. the age group for NPP hospitalization was ≥65.

dPCV13 serotype IPD rate 6.8–80.1 and PPV23 serotype IPD rate 43.8–550.6 dependent on immunosuppression condition.

eNPP rate 160–10330 dependent on immunosuppression condition.

fCalculated based on rate of non-invasive CAP, 31.8% of CAP hospitalized, and 39% of all cause CAP being pneumococcal.

gCalculated based on addition of rates of different IPD cases.
