*Comparisons used corrected data for FEV1, height and weight and weight-for -age z-score, prognostic risk score and predicted probabilities of death calculated using those corrected values.

Compared to original 1993–1997 cohort P-value not significant; P < 0.001 by χ2; §P < 0.001 by t-test; P = 0.001 by χ2; **P < 0.001 by Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test; ††P < 0.01 by χ2; §§P < 0.05 by χ2.

‖‖Statistical comparisons were not made for percentages of patients with each Number of Pulmonary Exacerbations. See main text paragraph in Results concerning prognostic risk scores.

***Prognostic risk score is the equivalent to the log-odds of death within 5-years.
