What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. mortality

    Mortality is defined the patient died in hospital.

    Time frame: From diagnosis of pneumonia to discharge from hospital or up to 90 days, whichever came first

Secondary outcomes

  1. severe pneumonia

    The pneumonia deteriorated and reached the criteria of severe pneumonia. Severe pneumonia was diagnosed according to the guideline published by ATS.

    Time frame: From diagnosis of pneumonia to discharge from hospital or up to 90 days, whichever came first

  2. initial treatment failure

    Initial treatment failure means the patients' condition progressively deteriorated although comprehensive treatment was administrated. As a result, the treatment should be changed or the patient required admission to ICU.

    Time frame: From diagnosis of pneumonia to discharge from hospital or up to 90 days, whichever came first
