Figure 1.
Association between age of onset of persistent P. aeruginosa infection and ABH type.
Kaplan-Meir curves were generated (includes exit censoring) to test associations between ABH and age of onset of P. aeruginosa infection in the respiratory tract for patients with mild and severe disease. (For simplicity, figures show the proportion of infected patients in the combined group of young mild and severe patients for whom culture and ABH genotype data was available.) A) ABO blood group, B) Secretor phenotype and C) Lewis phenotype. No significant differences were seen.
