PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Participants were monitored for outcome throughout their stay in hospital, and received follow-up review at 10 days

Population: Controls did not present with infectious, inflammatory or allergic conditions - and therefore all patients under the control category had a phenotype of 'healthy' - with none of them meeting criteria for the other phenotype groups (bacterial, viral, inflammatory, uncertain, other).
