We aimed to investigate CAP incidence, recurrence, mortality, risk factors and microbiology before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adults aged \u226518 years were enrolled in three South African provinces from March 2019 to October 2021, with a brief halt during the initial COVID-19 lockdown. The first group, PdCAP, a surveillance cohort, had their data abstracted to estimate the population incidence of physician-diagnosed CAP by counting incident CAP patients presenting to emergency rooms (ER) and mapping them to catchment areas linked to census data. From those admitted to wards from ERs, a prospective cohort (HospCAP) was enrolled and followed up to 1 year after discharge. Microbiology testing was performed and data were abstracted and collected for economic assessments. A third group (StART) of PLWH without respiratory illness at enrolment, attending primary healthcare clinics to initiate or reinitiate ART, was prospectively enrolled and followed. HospCAP and StART participants (totalling 2950 participants) were followed for at least 1 year and assessed for CAP episodes, hospitalisations and mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings to date<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Surveillance identified 6546 patients attending ERs with physician-diagnosed CAP; 61\/6546 (0.9%) died in the ER.

Overall, 271\/2000 (13.6%) hospitalised CAP patients died during their first admission and 298\/2000 (14.9%) died during follow-up.
