Odds ratios adjusted on obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerotic heart disease, sex and age as a continuous variable. ICU: intensive care unit; CF: cystic fibrosis; COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ILD: interstitial lung disease; CRF: chronic respiratory failure. #: each CRD patient was classified in only one single CRD category (when there were several CRD codes on the discharge abstract of a patient, we decided to prioritise in order to retain only one, using the following order: CF with pulmonary manifestations, lung cancer, COPD, asthma, pulmonary sarcoidosis, ILDs, emphysema, sleep apnoea, pulmonary hypertension and CRF); : CRDs significantly less at risk (p<0.05).
