The average age for men was 63.87 years and for women 65.99 years. In all years, ECI was larger for splenectomized than for non-splenectomized patients, with men having a higher mean ECI than women. An association was found between risk factors ECI, splenectomy, age group, sex, pneumococcal pneumonia, and increased mortality (OR\u2009=\u20090.98; 95% CI: 0.97\u20130.99; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
