Annual incidence estimates of hospitalizations related to parapneumonic pleural effusions/empyema (PPE/PE) (n = 1447) per 1,000,000 children aged <18 years in Germany by age group (10/2010 to 06/2017). Error bars represent the 95% confidence interval by age group and study year. Note that study year 1 covers a 9-month period in the figure; the final overall incidence estimate of 18.4 (95%CI 16.1–20.8) per million children was calculated after extrapolation to a full 12-month period.

3. Fig. 2
Annual incidence estimates of hospitalizations related to parapneumonic pleural effusions/empyema (PPE/PE) by microorganism per 1,000,000 children aged <18 years in Germany (10/2010 to 06/2017). Error bars represent the 95% confidence interval by microorganism and study year. Note that study year 1 covers a 9-month period, whereas study years 2–7 cover 12 months each, and that estimates for Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis are limited by the low annual numbers of patients.
