Parameter estimates (95% CIs) and likelihood ratio test (LRT) p values for the effect of diagnosis by NBS on weight-for-age SD-score trajectories, BM-for-age SD-score trajectories, %predicted FEV1 and cPA after adjustment for sex, genotype, year of birth, ethnicity, diagnosis by MI and pancreatic insufficiency. All numbers were rounded to two digits

*Compared with model with NBS main effect only.
BMI, body mass index; cPA, chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in one second; NBS, newborn bloodspot screening.
