This study evaluates whether meeting ATS/IDSA diagnostic criteria for NTM pulmonary disease is associated with mortality and identifies factors that may modify this risk in adults (≥18 years) with NTM-positive respiratory specimens collected during 2005–2006. 000002779 540__ $$fCC BY 000002779 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002779 650__ $$aLung$$021644 000002779 650__ $$aMortality$$022435 000002779 650__ $$aNontuberculous Mycobacteria$$022571 000002779 650__ $$aAdult$$014319 000002779 650__ $$aLung Diseases$$021647 000002779 650__ $$aMycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous$$022566 000002779 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002779 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000002779 7001_ $$aNovosad, Shannon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002779 7201_ $$aWinthrop, Kevin$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000002779 8564_ $$9ac0e8177-4201-41ab-9cfd-d54a2eba0445$$s349966$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2779/files/3547_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2222684392c46582bf454a778efbcff36$$31 000002779 905__ $$a/rest/prod/cz/30/ps/88/cz30ps88z 000002779 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2779$$pstudent-work 000002779 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000002779 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
