Data are presented as median (interquartile range, mean±sd, or n/N (%), unless otherwise stated. #: interaction addresses the comparison of the effects of amoxicillin between those with and without pneumonia; ¶: data presented as hazard ratio (95% CI); +: data presented as difference (95% CI); §: data presented as odds ratio (95% CI).
