* ERT denotes enzyme replacement therapy and HR hazard ratio.

† Intent-to-treat approach with ERT, age categories, and disease severity as time-dependent covariates.

‡ Values for ERT were derived after adjustment for age, sex, disease severity, and country of residence.

§ Including patients from Australia and Canada.

‡Respiratory support includes partial and full-time invasive and non-invasive respiratory support.
