Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Urinary antigen detection cut-points for invasive S. pneumoniae disease	To determine Cut-Points to discriminate a positive or negative urine antigen test that differentiates invasive disease versus the carriage state	Within 48 hours
Secondary	Detection of S. pneumoniae serotypes using Urinary antigen detection assay	To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Luminex xMPA pneumococcal UAD in the identification of S. pneumoniae serotypes (PCV13 serotypes) in children with radiologically confirmed CAP	Within 48 hours
