Hospital incidence, in-hospital mortality and medical costs of pneumococcal disease in Spain (2008-2017): a retrospective multicentre study.

The advanced age of patients and presence of chronic comorbid conditions that are associated to in-hospital mortality must be taken into account when improving care protocols and upcoming vaccination plans.
