Risk of the 10 most common adverse event types in patients with CTD-associated PAH compared to patients with idiopathic PAH*

Outcome Odds ratio (95% CI) for CTD-associated PAH vs. idiopathic PAH P
Infection 1.65 (1.31–2.08) <0.001
Headache 0.85 (0.65–1.13) 0.26
Musculoskeletal 1.13 (0.87–1.48) 0.36
Edema 1.12 (0.85–1.48) 0.42
Rash 0.89 (0.62–1.29) 0.54
Bleeding 1.49 (1.08–2.06) 0.021
Nausea/vomiting 1.10 (0.78–1.54) 0.59
Dizziness 1.09 (0.78–1.52) 0.62
Cough 0.99 (0.66–1.49) 0.98
Dyspnea 1.33 (0.91–1.93) 0.14

Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were determined in analyses adjusted for age, sex, race, treatment (drug versus placebo), study, body mass index, baseline 6-minute walk distance, baseline World Health Organization functional class, baseline hemodynamics (cardiac index, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, right atrial pressure), and baseline laboratory values (creatinine and hemoglobin levels). CTD-associated PAH = connective tissue disease–associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.
