- Abstract
The article focuses on a study conducted on the incidence of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The authors estimated the relationship between CVEs and mortality, and found that the occurrence of CVEs is associated with a 5-time increase in 30-day mortality. It is stated that ignoring time-dependency of the exposure (CVEs) leads to a lower hazard ratio.
