*Firth’s penalised maximum likelihood was used due to complete separation of outcome.
†Included age and MPA as covariates, and was also adjusted for clustering.
‡Included age, GPA and MPA as covariates, and was also adjusted for clustering.
GPA, granulomatosis with polyangiitis; MPA, microscopic polyangiitis; PCP, pneumocystis pneumonia; TMP-SMX, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
