Binary variables are presented as count (%) and continuous variables as mean (standard deviation). Frail hospital = CFS ≥ 5; Frail community-based = PRISMA7 ≥ 3; Fever in hospital data (≥37.5°C).

P-values are FDR adjusted at 5%.

*Donates significance.

Probable (hospital) or possible (community).
