The joint model offers a strategy to simultaneously incorporate latent associations between different types of outcomes. Recent Bayesian approaches have enhanced the flexibility and application of these models. However, there is a lack of Bayesian joint models for multilevel hierarchical data that include both longitudinal and binary outcomes. We aim to propose such a prognostic joint model for timely intervention before pulmonary exacerbation during CF progression. Additionally, we will demonstrate the biases that can arise if center effects are ignored in multicenter data.
