Significant exacerbation Predictors | Blacks, with ancestry data available (n=161)a | Whites, with ancestry data available (n=489)a | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
RR (95% CI) | P-value | RR (95%CI) | P-value | |
Exacerbation history | 0.83 | 0.19 | ||
≥2 vs 0 | 1.5 (0.37–6.34) | 0.56 | 1.4 (0.48–3.83) | 0.57 |
1 vs 0 | 1.2 (0.35–4.33) | 0.75 | 1.7 (0.96–3.13) | 0.07 |
Sex (Females versus Males) | 0.9 (0.31–2.52) | 0.82 | 0.7 (0.41–1.28) | 0.27 |
% pred FEV1, per 14% increase | 1.1 (0.59–1.89) | 0.86 | 0.8 (0.64–1.07) | 0.16 |
%AA (median cutpoint) | 3.4 (1.15–9.81) | 0.027 | 1.5 (0.92, 2.51) | 0.10 |
Relative rates (RR) for continuous variables expressed per change by one standard deviation. Models include median percentage African genetic ancestry (AA) which varied between races due to marked differences in distribution of Native American, European, and African ancestries. Models also include protocol, age, sex, FEV1, race, and exacerbation history.
