Background: Higher-valency pneumococcal vaccines are anticipated. We aimed to describe serotype distribution and risk factors for vaccine-serotype community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the two years pre-SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods: We conducted a pr...

Importance: There is a lack of consensus regarding the interval of time-dependent postoperative mortality risk following an acute coronary syndrome or stroke.
Objective: To determine the magnitude and duration of risk associated with the time interv...

Objective: To assess whether antidepressant prescriptions are associated with an increased risk of pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation. Methods: A self-controlled case series was performed to investigate the rates...

Background Survivors of common infections may develop cognitive impairment or dementia; however, the risk of these conditions in people hospitalised with pneumonia is not well established.

Methods A matched cohort study was conducted using Hospit... Read More about Incidence of cognitive impairment and dementia after hospitalisation for pneumonia: a UK population-based matched cohort study.
