| Abstract |
Little is known about risk factors for chronic and mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) adults, and whether the prevalence is changing. We employed a retrospective cohort to analyze data from a single adult CF center (2002 to 2012). Regression models were used to assess independent predictors and change in prevalence of chronic and mucoid Pa infection over time. The odds ratio of mucoid Pa infection was significantly less in individuals with better baseline lung function (OR 0.84,95%CI:0.77-0.92) and those diagnosed after the age of 25 (OR 0.21, 95%CI:0.05-0.95). The prevalence of chronic Pa and mucoid Pa decreased during the time interval. After adjusting for confounders, the observed decrease in chronic and mucoid Pa between 2002 and 2012 was no longer significant. The prevalence of chronic and mucoid Pa is decreasing. Larger studies are needed to confirm these regional trends and their significance. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 December 2016.
All research outputs
#15,557,505
of 23,881,329 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pulmonary Medicine
#1,059
of 2,030 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#246,559
of 424,578 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pulmonary Medicine
#30
of 44 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,881,329 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,030 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 424,578 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 44 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
