Notes: *The patient’s age in years (age minus 10 for females). #Fisher’s exact test. Numerical data were not normally distributed, they were expressed as medians (IQR). Comparisons were conducted between groups using the Mann–Whitney U-test. $Compared with Non-diabetes survival group P<0.001.

Abbreviations: PSI, pneumonia severity index; BP, blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; IQR, interquartile range.
