    3.1 Patients who meet the following criteria (inpatient definition)
    requiring admission to hospital (a hospital practitioner has decided that admission to hospital is required with an expectation that the patient will need to stay at least one night)
    and
    have either clinical or radiological evidence of pneumonia
    or
    acute respiratory distress syndrome
    or
