Definition of risk categories:
CURB-65: low risk = 0-1 points, intermediate risk = 2 points, high risk = 3-5 points.
CRB-65: low risk = 0 points, intermediate risk = 1-2points, high risk = 3-4 points.
CCI: low risk = 0-1 points, intermediate risk = 2-3 points, high risk ≥ 3points.
Chi-square test for all associations: p < 0.001.
