Suspected CAP = ICD-10 codes (J12-J86) with a referral for chest x-ray within first 3 days of hospitalization.
Confirmed CAP = Suspected CAP case who had a typical x-ray image of pneumonia (i.e. abnormal pulmonary infiltrates).
Bacterial CAP = Confirmed CAP case with CRP results ≥40 mg/l.
CRP missing/not done = Confirmed CAP case but with missing/not done CRP results, therefore impossible to classify further into B-CAP.
Chest x-ray missing/not done = Suspected CAP case in whom a chest X-ray was either not performed or was missing in the records, therefore impossible to classify further. N = number of episodes, % = n / Number of episodes with available results x 100.
CAP, community acquired pneumonia; CRP, C-reactive protein.
