P-values were derived from comparisons to 30-day mortality in all other patients who were followed up after 30 days, and for whom sputum samples were sent for diagnostics (a total of 186 patients for M. tuberculosis diagnostics and 158 patients for bacterial culture and candida species; for 138 patients both were available and for 206 either one or both were available).
