About this trial
The study aims to explore risk factors for poor prognosis among patients admitted with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). During a 5-year study period, all patients (aged ≥ 18 years) admitted with CAP at North Zealand Hospital will be invited for inclusion. Questionnaires, anthropometric measures, laboratory tests, and biomaterials will be collected at admission, daily during admission, at discharge and at follow-up. The main clinical outcomes of the study consist of deaths and development of diabetes.
