Despite our current treatment, many cystic fibrosis (CF) patients still show progressive bronchiectasis and small airways disease.
This paper is a review of lung function tests best suited to use for early detection of lung disease in Cystic Fibrosis.
Stratification of monitoring protocols based on the risk profile of the patient can help us in the future to better care for people with Cystic Fibrosis.
The aim of this study was to determine whether assessment of early CT scan-detected bronchiectasis in young children with cystic fibrosis (CF) depends on...
Clinical trials for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease are important to test and optimise new therapeutic interventions.
To examine the distribution of early structural lung changes in clinically stable infants and young children with cystic fibrosis using chest computed...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease commences early in the disease progression and is the most common cause of mortality.
Cross-sectional studies implicate neutrophilic inflammation and pulmonary infection as risk factors for early structural lung disease in infants and young...
In this review, we have examined the role of lung function testing in infants and preschool children with CF.
During exacerbations, when symptom and treatment burden are increased, individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) are likely to prefer airway clearance techniques (ACTs) that require minimal effort. Therefore, in adults with CF who were hospitalised with an exacerbation, we sought to compare the effect of the MetaNeb with usual ACTs on respiratory function and expectorated sputum.
