    Implementation

    These codes will capture both community- and hospital-acquired pneumonia. These codes are not intended to be mandatory, but are to be used as a starting point for the identification of pneumonia in routine EHR. Each study may differ in the sensitivity and specificity of the coding required.

    Defining a community-acquired pneumonia occurrence in CPRD and HES, Millett et al. 2013 used the following algorithm:

    1) Pneumonia records wtihin 28 days of each other were considered to be separate consultations for the same illness

    2) First record of pneumonia was the index date

    3) End of a pneumonia occurrence was defined as 28 days after the last pneumonia code within the illness episode

    4) In HES, pneumonia coded as the primary diagnosis on the first day of a hospital admission

    Defining a hospital-acquired pneumonia occurrence in HES and CPRD, Millett et al. 2013 used the following algorithm:

    1) Pneumonia coded at any time beyond the first day of a hospital admission

    2) Using CPRD in conjunction with HES, pneumonia coded in CPRD within 14 days of a hospital admission (for any cause) was deemed hospital-acquired

    3) In CPRD, use of a hospital-acquired pneumonia code at any time during the pneumonia occurrence

    Millett, E. R., Quint, J. K., Smeeth, L., Daniel, R. M., & Thomas, S. L. (2013). Incidence of community-acquired lower respiratory tract infections and pneumonia among older adults in the United Kingdom: a population-based study. PLoS One, 8(9), e75131. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0075131

    Defining a community-acquired pneumonia resulting in hospitalisation occurrence in HES, Hicks et al. 2016 used the following algorithm:

    1) In HES, hospital admission following A&E visit, where pneumonia was coded as the primary diagnosis within two days of admission

    Defining a hospital-acquired pneumonia occurrence in CPRD and HES, Hicks et al. 2016 used the following algorithm:

    1) Pneumonia diagnosis in HES >2 days after hospital admission

    2) Pneumonia diagnosed in CPRD within 7 days after hospital discharge

    Hicks, B. M., Yin, H., Bladou, F., Ernst, P., & Azoulay, L. (2017). Androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer and the risk of hospitalisation for community-acquired pneumonia. Thorax, 72(7), 596-597. doi:10.1136/thoraxjnl-2016-209512

    Defining a hospital-acquired respiratory infection including pneumonia occcurence using ICD-10 codes, Timmers et al. 2020 used the following algorithm:

    1) The main diagnosis of acute hospital admission records, excluding any secondary diagnoses, was used to classify records into disease categories, which corresponded to disease blocks as described in the chapters of ICD-10.

    2) Mortality trends were modelled using morbidity trends: we first determined the major disease categories (ICD-10 blocks) associated with the most lives lost.

    Timmers PRHJ, Kerssens JJ, Minton J, Grant I, Wilson JF, Campbell H, Fischbacher CM, Joshi PK. Trends in disease incidence and survival and their effect on mortality in Scotland: nationwide cohort study of linked hospital admission and death records 2001-2016. BMJ Open. 2020 Mar 25;10(3):e034299. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2019-034299. PMID: 32217562; PMCID: PMC7170664.

    Defining a hospital-acquired respiratory infection including pneumonia occcurence using ICD-10 codes, Brunner-La Rocca et al. 2020 used the following algorithm:

    1) Both bespoke chronic diseases (ICD-classification) and Clinical Classification Software (CCS) codes were used to define bacterial pneumonia as index hospitalisation.

    Brunner-La Rocca HP, Peden CJ, Soong J, Holman PA, Bogdanovskaya M, Barclay L. Reasons for readmission after hospital discharge in patients with chronic diseases-Information from an international dataset. PLoS One. 2020 Jun 30;15(6):e0233457. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0233457. PMID: 32603361; PMCID: PMC7326238.

    Defining a hospital-acquired respiratory infection including pneumonia occcurence using ICD-10 codes, Reynurn et al. 2020 used the following algorithm:

    1) all-cause pneumonia (which is highly sensitive but not specific), and three clinical definitions based on WHO definitions of severe or very severe pneumonia, hypoxic pneumonia (which indicates severe disease and is the main cause for pneumonia-associated death), and radiological pneumonia

    2) All-cause pneumonia included ICD-10 codes J10·0–18·9, J21, and J22. Bronchiolitis (ICD-10 code J21) was included because clinicians in Fiji code pneumonia according to Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses definitions (cough and breathing rate, according to age) and this includes bronchiolitis.

    3) Severe or very severe pneumonia was based on the WHO 2005 pneumonia case definitions10 with the addition of oxygen saturation of less than 90% in room air, or death due to pneumonia (confirmed by a pathologist at autopsy).

    4) Hypoxic pneumonia was defined as any child with pneumonia and oxygen saturation of less than 90% in room air, or death due to pneumonia.

    5) Radiological pneumonia was defined as primary endpoint consolidation according to the WHO 2005 standard case definition as re-read by a paediatric radiologist (MdC). Individuals with pneumonia who died from pneumonia before having a chest radiograph taken were also classified as having radiological pneumonia.

    Defining a community-acquired pneumonia resulting in hospitalisation occurrence, Lawrence et al. 2020 used the following algorithm:

    1) Cases were identified by participating institutions via ICD10 codes mapping to a primary discharge diagnosis of pneumonia (J12.0–J18.0) and selected for eligibility against inclusion criteria to confirm a clinical and radiographic diagnosis of Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP).
