Objectives: We constructed a statistical model to assess the risk of death for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients between scheduled annual clinical visits. Our model includes a CF health index that shows the influence of risk factors on CF chronic health and on the severity and frequency of CF exacerbations.Study Design and Setting: Our study used Canadian CF registry data for 3,794 CF patients born after 1970. Data up to 2010 were analyzed, yielding 44,390 annual visit records. Our stochastic process model postulates that CF health between annual clinical visits is a superposition of chronic disease progression and an exacerbation shock stream. Death occurs when an exacerbation carries CF health across a critical threshold. The data constitute censored survival data, and hence, threshold regression was used to connect CF death to study covariates. Maximum likelihood estimates were used to determine which clinical covariates were included within the regression functions for both CF chronic health and CF exacerbations.Results: Lung function, Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, CF-related diabetes, weight deficiency, pancreatic insufficiency, and the deltaF508 homozygous mutation were significantly associated with CF chronic health status. Lung function, age, gender, age at CF diagnosis, P aeruginosa infection, body mass index
