BACKGROUND: The impact of lung transplantation on end of life care in cystic fibrosis (CF) has not been widely investigated. METHODS: Information about end of life care was collected from records of all patients who died in our hospital from complications of CF between 1995 and 2005. Transplant and non-transplant patients were compared. RESULTS: Of 38 patients who died, 20 (53%) had received or were awaiting lung transplantation ("transplant" group), and 18 (47%) were not referred, declined transplant, or were removed from the waiting list ("non-transplant"). Transplant patients were more likely than non-transplant patients to die in the intensive care unit (17 (85%) versus 9 (50%); P=0.04). 16 (80%) transplant patients remained intubated at or shortly before death, versus 7 (39%) non-transplant patients (P=0.02). Do-not-resuscitate orders were written later for transplant patients; 12 (60%) on the day of death versus 5 (28%) in non-transplant patients (P=0.02). Transplant patients were less likely to participate in this decision. Alternatives to hospital death were rarely discussed. CONCLUSIONS: Receiving or awaiting lung transplantation affords more aggressive inpatient end of life care. Despite the chronic nature of CF and knowledge of a shortened life span, discussions about terminal care are often delayed until patients themselves are unable to participate. 相似文献

Background
The goal of palliative care is to improve quality of life for people with serious illness. We aimed to create a cystic fibrosis (CF)-specific definition of palliative care.Methods
A working group of 36 CF care providers, researchers, palliative care providers, quality improvement experts, individuals with CF, and CF caregivers completed a series of questionnaires to rate the value of each of 22 attributes of palliative care, rank top attributes to construct definitions of palliative care, and then rate proposed definitions.Results
An average of 28 participants completed each of four questionnaires, with consistent distribution of stakeholder roles across questionnaires. Many identified overlaps in routine CF care and palliative care and highlighted the importance of a definition that feels relevant across the lifespan.Conclusion
Modified Delphi methodology was used to define palliative care in CF. The definition will be used as the foundation for development of CF-specific palliative care guidelines. 相似文献3.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was first to evaluate the imaging-related cumulative post-transplantation radiation dose in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung transplantation (LT) recipients and second, to identify the occurrence and type of malignancies observed after LT.Materials and methods
A total of 52 patients with CF who underwent LT at our institution between January 2001 and December 2006 with at least 3 years of survival were retrospectively included. There were 27 men and 25 women with a mean age of 24.4 ± 9.2 (SD) years (range: 7.6–52.9 years) at the time of LT. Calculation of cumulative effective and organ doses after LT were based on dosimetry information and acquisition parameters of each examination. Cumulative radiation doses were calculated until June 2016, but stopped at the time of de novomalignancy diagnosis, for patients developing the condition.Results
Patients received a mean cumulative effective dose of 110.0 ± 51.6 (SD) mSv (range: 13–261.3 mSv) over a mean follow-up of 8.1 ± 3.6 (SD) years (range: 0.5–13.5 years), with more than 100mSv in 5 years in 19/52 patients (37%). Chest CT accounted for 73% of the cumulative effective dose. Mean doses to the lung, breast and thyroid were 152.8 ± 61.1 (SD) mGy (range: 21.2–331.6 mGy), 106.5 ± 43.2 (SD) mGy (range: 11.9–221.4 mGy) and 72.7 ± 31.8 (SD) mGy (range: 9.5–165.0 mGy), respectively. Nine out of 52 patients (17%) developed a total of 10 de novo malignancies, all but one attributable to immunosuppression after a mean post-transplantation follow-up period of 11.1 ± 3.5 (SD) years (range: 3.7–16.3 years). Six-month cumulative effective dose was not greater in patients with de novomalignancies than in those without de novomalignancies (28.9 ± 14.5 (SD) mGy (range: 13.0–53.4) vs 25.6 ± 15.3 (range: 5.0–69.7), respectively, P > 0.05).Conclusion
The cumulative effective dose exceeded 100 mSv in 5 years in 37% of LT recipients, the reason why continuous efforts should be made to optimize chest CT acquisitions accounting for 73% of the radiation dose. 相似文献4.
Introducing the need for lung transplantation in children with cystic fibrosis: Parental experiences
Lung transplantation (LTx) is the only treatment available for adult and pediatric end-stage lung disease secondary to cystic fibrosis (CF). The timing of introducing LTx has significant medical and psychological implications for the child and the family. This study explored the views and recommendations of parents of children with CF, who had been asked to consider LTx and referred to a national transplant centre. Parents participated in a telephone-based, semi-structured interview. Responses were analysed using Content Analysis. Parental recommendations and the emergent protocol are discussed, together with implications for clinical practice. 相似文献

Background
Disseminated fungal infections are a known serious complication in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) following orthotopic lung transplantation. Aspergillus fumigatus and Scedosporium species are among the more common causes of invasive fungal infection in this population. However, it is also important for clinicians to be aware of other emerging fungal species which may require markedly different antifungal therapies.Case summary
We describe the first laboratory-documented case of a fatal disseminated fungal infection caused by Rasamsonia aegroticola in a 21-year-old female CF patient status post-bilateral lung transplantation, which was only identified post-mortem. Molecular analysis revealed the presence of the identical Rasamsonia strains in the patient's respiratory cultures preceding transplantation.Discussion
We propose that the patient's disseminated fungal disease and death occurred as a result of recrudescence of Rasamsonia infection from her native respiratory system in the setting of profound immunosuppression post-operatively. Since Rasamsonia species have been increasingly recovered from the respiratory tract of CF patients, we further review the literature on these fungi and discuss their association with invasive fungal infections in the CF lung transplant host.Conclusion
Our report suggests Rasamsonia species may be important fungal pathogens that may have fatal consequences in immunosuppressed CF patients after solid organ transplantation. 相似文献6.

Objective: Over the last decades improvements in medical therapies have delayed the progression of lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). However, lung disease is still the most common cause of premature death, and lung transplantation today is the only treatment for end-stage lung disease in patients with CF. We present a retrospective review of the outcome of CF patients transplanted in Denmark since start of the national lung transplantation programme in 1992. Methods: In a 10-year period, 47 patients with CF were listed for lung transplantation; 29 patients underwent transplantation and 18 patients died while waiting for donor organs. Eleven patients received en block double lung transplantation with direct bronchial artery revascularization and 18 patients received bilateral sequential lung transplantation. Median age at transplantation was 29 years (range 11–50). Results: The perioperative mortality (≤30 days) was 3.5% (1/29 patients). Actuarial survival of transplanted patients at 1, 3, 5 and 8 years was 89, 80, 80 and 70%, respectively. Actuarial survival of non-transplanted patients on the waiting list at 1 and 2 years was 28 and 11% (P<0.0001). Causes of death of transplanted patients were: respiratory failure on day 7 (n=1), bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (n=2), infection (Cytomegalovirus, Aspergillus fumigatus) (n=2), bronchial anastomosis dehiscence (n=1). Pulmonary function (FEV1% predicted) improved from median 20% (range 13–31) pre-transplant to 71% (range 19–118) after 5 years (P<0.0001). Renal function (51Cr-EDTA clearance) decreased from median 97 ml/min (range 45–190) pre-transplant to 32 ml/min (range 8–84) 6 months after transplantation (P<0.001). Three patients (11%) received dialysis post-transplant of whom two underwent kidney transplantation. Immunosuppressive induction therapy with rabbit-antithymocyte-globulin compared to daclizumab resulted in fewer treatments for acute rejection within the first 3 months post-transplant (P=0.05 at 5–8 weeks). Burkholderia multivorans was present in three patients pre-transplant with satisfying long-term outcome in one patient. Conclusions: Lung transplantation is a well-established life-extending treatment for patients with CF and end-stage lung disease. The operative mortality is low and CF patients have a significant early survival benefit after lung transplantation. Satisfying long-term results can be achieved in this young and severely ill group of patients. 相似文献

BackgroundClub cell secretory protein (CC16) exerts anti-inflammatory functions in lung disease. We sought to determine the relation of serum CC16 deficits and genetic variants that control serum CC16 to lung function among children with cystic fibrosis (CF).MethodsWe used longitudinal data from CF children (EPIC Study) with no positive cultures for Pseudomonas aeruginosa prior to enrollment. Circulating levels of CC16 and an inflammatory score (generated from CRP, SAA, calprotectin, G-CSF) were compared between participants with the lowest and highest FEV1 levels in adolescence (LLF and HLF groups, respectively; N = 130-per-group). Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the SCGB1A1, EHF-APIP loci were tested for association with circulating CC16 and with decline of FEV1 and FEV1/FVC% predicted levels between ages 7–16 using mixed models.ResultsCompared with the HLF group, the LLF group had lower levels of CC16 (geometric means: 8.2 vs 6.5 ng/ml, respectively; p = 0.0002) and higher levels of the normalized inflammatory score (-0.21 vs 0.21, p = 0.0007). Participants in the lowest CC16 and highest inflammation tertile had the highest odds for having LLF (p<0.0001 for comparison with participants in the highest CC16 and lowest inflammation tertile). Among seven SNVs associated with circulating CC16, the top SNV rs3741240 was associated with decline of FEV1/FVC and, marginally, FEV1 (p = 0.003 and 0.025, respectively; N = 611 participants, 20,801 lung function observations).ConclusionsSerum CC16 deficits are strongly associated with severity of CF lung disease and their effects are additive with systemic inflammation. The rs3741240 A allele is associated with low circulating CC16 and, possibly, accelerated lung function decline in CF. 相似文献

Abstract Between June 1990 and September 1995, 8 of 24 children with cystic fibrosis (CF) who were accepted either for combined transplantation or isolated liver transplantation died while waiting for a graft; 11 underwent transplantation and 5 are currently on the waiting list. Of the 11 children who had surgery, 7 (group 1) underwent one of the following procedures: heart-lung-liver ( n = 4), sequential double lung-liver ( n = 2), or bilateral lobar lung from a split left lung and reduced liver ( n = 1). During the same period, the four other children (group 2) underwent isolated liver transplantation (three full-size livers, one partial liver). There was one perioperative death in each group. Pulmonary infection was the most common cause of morbidity in group 1. Other complications in group 1 included tracheobronchial stenosis ( n = 2), biliary stricture ( n = 2), and severe ascites ( n = 2). All were successfully treated. Oblit-erative bronchiolitis developed in three patients. This was treated with FK 506. In group 2, pulmonary function tests improved or remained stable after liver transplantation. Surgical complications in group 2 included severe ascites ( n = 1), biliary stricture ( n = 1), and abscess of the liver ( n = 1). Actuarial survival was 85.7 %% 2 % in group 1 at 1 year; it remained unchanged at 3 years and was 64.2 % at 5 years. 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects multiple organs including the lung, liver, and pancreas. Lung transplant, liver transplant, and combined lung-liver transplant have become well-established therapies for CF patients with end-stage organ failure. Thus far, however, there has been limited experience with pancreas transplantation in CF. In this report, we detail the clinical history, transplant procedure, and post-operative recovery of a patient who underwent combined lung-liver-pancreas transplant for advanced CF. 相似文献

Background
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who experience acute declines in percent predicted FEV1 (ppFEV1 decreased ≥10% relative to baseline) are often not treated with antibiotics for pulmonary exacerbations (PEx), whereas other patients are treated even when they have not experienced a decline in lung function.Methods
We analyzed 2 patient cohorts using 3?years of Epidemiologic Study of CF data. Cohort 1 (12,837 patients) experienced a ≥10% acute decline in ppFEV1 (n?=?22,898) and Cohort 2 (10,416 patients) had a clinician-diagnosed PEx (n?=?20,731).Results
70.7% of ≥10% decline events were treated with antibiotics; with intravenous antibiotics used 67.1% of the time. 32.0% of clinician-diagnosed PEx declined <10%; with intravenous antibiotics used 36.9% of the time.Conclusions
A clinician's decision to diagnose a PEx and treat with antibiotics often is not defined by measured lung function: a ≥10% FEV1 decline is not considered an absolute indication of a PEx and the lack of a decline does not contraindicate a PEx. Clinicians appear to use the history of prior PEx plus other variables as factors for diagnosing PEx. 相似文献14.

Safety-data for lumacaftor/ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) combination therapy in patients with severe lung disease (percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s [ppFEV1] < 40) remain limited. We report immediate post-dose respiratory-related adverse events in 12 patients with severe cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease (median [IQR] ppFEV1: 34 [31–36]) prescribed LUM/IVA. All patients experienced a decline in ppFEV1 from baseline at 2-hours (median [IQR] relative change: ? 19 [? 21 to ? 11]%, p < 0.001) that persisted at 24-hours but recovered in most patients at 1-month. No pre- and post-differences in bronchodilator response were observed. Ten (83.3%) patients reported non-severe respiratory-related adverse events within 24-hours of LUM/IVA initiation. At 1-month, eight (67%) patients had persistent symptoms and six (50%) were treated for a pulmonary exacerbation. Our results highlight that LUM/IVA respiratory-related adverse events are common in patients with a ppFEV1 < 40. We recommend close assessment of adverse events. Further studies are required to evaluate the efficacy of LUM/IVA in patients with severe lung disease. 相似文献

Background
Data on long term variability of Lung Clearance Index (LCI) in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is urgently needed to guide test result interpretation. Our aim was to evaluate LCI variability in clinically stable CF lung disease in school age children.Methods
Paediatric patients, aged 6 to 17 years, attending the outpatient CF clinic performed Multiple Breath Nitrogen Washout (Exhalyzer® D) and spirometry every third month over a period of one year. Clinical stability was assessed by the Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Score (CFCS) at each visit.Results
Twentyfive children were recruited: baseline median (range) FEV1% pred. 91 (55–122)%, LCI 9.1 (6.4–18.6), CFCS 15 (12 ? 23). A total of 107 visits were included in the study, of which 93% were defined as clinically stable. In clinically stable visits, within-subject variability of LCI and FEV1% pred. were 10% and 16%, respectively. The upper limit of normal (ULN, 95% percentile) of LCI variability during clinical stability was 17%.Conclusions
LCI within-subject variability was low and comparable to FEV1% pred. which strengthen the use of LCI to monitor lung disease progression in CF patients. An increase in LCI > 17% compared to previous LCI-measurement in clinically stable CF patients may therefore indicate early lung disease progression. 相似文献17.

Multiple breath washout (MBW) measurements have recently been shown to be sensitive for detection of early cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease, with the lung clearance index (LCI) being the most common measure for ventilation inhomogeneity. The aim of this observational study was to describe the longitudinal course of LCI from time of clinical diagnosis during infancy to school-age in eleven children with CF.Elevated LCI during infancy was present in seven subjects, especially in those with later clinical diagnosis. Tracking of LCI at follow-up was evident only in the four most severe cases.We provide the first longitudinal data describing the long-term course of LCI in a small group of infants with CF. Our findings support the clinical usefulness of MBW measurements to detect and monitor early lung disease in children with CF already present shortly after clinical diagnosis. 相似文献

Transplant volume represents lung transplant (LTx) expertise and predicts outcomes, so we sought to determine outcomes related to center volumes in cystic fibrosis (CF). United Network for Organ Sharing data were queried for patients with CF in the United States (US) receiving bilateral LTx from 2005 to 2015. Multivariable Cox regression was used to model survival to 1 year and long‐term (>1 year) survival, conditional on surviving at least 1 year. A total of 2025 patients and 67 centers were included in the analysis. The median annual LTx volumes were three in CF [interquartile range (IQR): 2, 6] and 17 in non‐CF (IQR: 8, 33). Multivariable Cox regression in cases with complete data and surviving at least 1 year (n = 1510) demonstrated that greater annual CF LTx volume (HR per 10 LTx = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.49, 0.89; P = 0.006) but not greater non‐CF LTx volume (HR = 1.00; 95% CI: 0.96, 1.05; P = 0.844) was associated with improved long‐term survival in LTx recipients with CF. A Wald interaction test confirmed that CF LTx volume was more strongly associated with long‐term outcomes than non‐CF LTx volume (P = 0.012). In a US cohort, center volume was not associated with 1‐year survival. CF‐specific expertise predicted improved long‐term outcomes of LTx for CF, whereas general LTx expertise was unassociated with CF patients’ survival. 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis (CF) related diabetes mellitus (DM) occurs in 15% of adult pancreatic insufficient CF patients. Lung transplantation is a treatment option for end-stage CF. We hypothesized that the prevalence of DM increases after lung transplantation. The study population included adult patients undergoing lung transplantation from March 1988 to March 2002 for end-stage CF at the University of Toronto. Demographic data, exocrine pancreatic function, presence of DM before and after transplant, as well as timing of its development after transplant were collected. Eighty-six patients met the study criteria; 77 of 86 (89.5%) of patients were pancreatic insufficient and were further analyzed. Median follow-up post-transplant was 3.3 yr (interquartile range: 1.2-7.2). Their mean age was 29.7 +/- 8.1 yr and 46 of 77 (59.7%) were male. The prevalence of DM increased from 22 of 77 (28.6%) before transplant to 38 of 77 (49.4%) after transplant (p = 0.008). The median time of DM development after transplant was 80 d (range: 13-4352). Sixteen of 55 (29.1%) of pancreatic insufficient patients who were non-diabetic prior to transplant, developed DM after transplant. DM is common in CF patients undergoing lung transplantation and the prevalence increases after transplant. 相似文献
