FINAL MULTIVARIABLE COX PROPORTIONAL HAZARD MODEL

Exposure CKD Hazard Ratio (95% CI)
Acute pulmonary exacerbations*
 No exacerbations REF
 One to five exacerbations 0.79 (0.56–1.11)
 Six to nine exacerbations 0.92 (0.58–1.46)
 ≥ 10 exacerbations 1.16 (0.75–1.81)
CFRD (insulin-requiring)*
 0 yr REF
 1–4 yr 2.40 (1.74–3.32)
 ≥ 5 yr 4.56 (2.85–7.28)
Per additional year of age 1.11 (1.10–1.12)
Per additional year of inhaled tobramycin use 0.89 (0.81–0.97)
Per unit increase in BMI, kg/m2 0.86 (0.82–0.90)

Definition of abbreviations: BMI = body mass index; CFRD = cystic fibrosis–related diabetes; CI = confidence interval; CKD = chronic kidney disease.
