Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.To identify genetics variations associated with the genetic risk of susceptibility to community-acquired pneumonia. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.To identify genetic variations associated with a severe community-acquired pneumonia on admission. Pneumonia severity will be determined by (a) mortality of community-acquired pneumonia within 24 hours; (b) Pneumonia severity scores: Pneumonia Severity Index and CURB-65 score (appendix 4) and (c) Location of treatment after first survey in ER (ward versus ICU). 2.To indentify genetic variations associated with poor response to treatment: determined by (a) development of complications during hospitalization (b) mortality after first day and within 30 days of admission. (c) admission to ICU during hospitalization. | — |
