  1. The HRs (hazard ratios) are for PCV13 vaccinated subjects as compared with PCV13 nonvaccinated and were adjusted, where appropriate, for age, sex, history of pneumococcal disease or pneumonia during the previous 24 months, presence of chronic pulmonary/respiratory disease, chronic heart disease, diabetes, chronic liver disease, alcoholism, current smoking, asplenia, immunodeficiency, HIV infection, chronic renal disease, bone marrow transplantation, cancer, immunosuppressive therapy, history of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination at any time and receipt or non receipt of influenza vaccine in prior autumn
