TL;DR
Quantitative air trapping is a more consistent sensitive outcome measure than either spirometry or total HRCT scores, and can discriminate differences in treatment effects in children with minimal CF lung disease.
Abstract
Quantitative air trapping is a more consistent sensitive outcome measure than either spirometry or total HRCT scores, and can discriminate differences in treatment effects in children with minimal CF lung disease.

All but the most severely affected patients, who died before age 15, appear to have had normal pulmonary function when first tested in early childhood, and Pancreatic sufficiency, male gender, and some non-delta F508 mutations are associated with a slower rate of pulmonary function decline.

High-resolution computed tomography demonstrated a broad range of pulmonary abnormalities in young patients with CF with mild to moderate lung disease, and abnormalities, including bronchiectasis, were common in young children with CF and normal pulmonary function tests.

Glandular hypertrophy, predominance of mucous acini within glands, and goblet cell hyperplasia of the bronchial mucosa all suggest an explanation for the copious mucous secretion of patients with cystic fibrosis, but it was not possible to ascertain whether these findings reflect a general exocrine defect of such patients or whether they were merely a response to chronic airway infection.

An automated computed tomographic image analysis algorithm (computed tomographic airway morphometry; CTAM) was developed to measure airway lumen area, airway wall area, and airway angle of orientation and it was found that Ai was underestimated and Awa was overestimated in direct relation to airway size.

Higher initialFEV1 was associated with a greater rate of decline, and among patients with initial FEV1 >60% predicted, younger subjects had a faster decline than did older subjects, so fewer subjects will be required to detect a complete halt in progression of lung disease if the patients are young and have mild pulmonary disease.
