CCI, Charlson comorbidity index; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CRS, chronic rhinosinusitis; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; 1-y pre-ID pneumonia, pneumonia history from the date of first diagnosis of total CRS (index date) to the date before 1-year periods; Post-ID pneumonia, the number of pneumonia diagnosis from the index date to the date after certain periods; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SD, standard deviation.
