Hazard ratios for risk of P. aeruginosa occurrence post eradication treatment.

Antigen Hazard ratio Hazard ratio 95% CI p-value
E-15 Alkaline protease 2.19 (1.30, 3.71) 0.003
Elastase 1.66 (0.99, 2.78) 0.055
Exotoxin A 2.50 (1.42, 4.39) 0.001
Combined 1.68 (0.96, 2.95) 0.072
MCW PopB+ExoS 1.51 (0.89, 2.56) 0.120
PAO1 cell lysate 1.61 (0.97, 2.68) 0.068
MCW exotoxin A 1.69 (0.89, 3.18) 0.106
Combined 1.38 (0.83, 2.31) 0.219

Post-eradication is week 10 onward. Each hazard ratio is attributable to baseline seropositivity against the individual antigens, combined E-15 ELISA, and MCW ELISA. A combined ELISA is defined as seropositive if any one of the three antibodies in an ELISA has titer at least 100.
