Paired t-test
Percent change in %FEV1 and BMI compared to baseline was calculated as (Mean at 3-, 6-, 9-, or 12 months - Mean at baseline) / (Mean at baseline) × 100%
Wilcoxin signed rank test
Percent change (increase or decrease) in Pseudomonas and MRSA compared to baseline was calculated as (% at 3-, 6-, 9-, or 12 months - % at baseline) / (% at baseline) × 100%
