American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care MedicineTrends in Pulmonary Function in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis Correlate with the Degree of Glucose Intolerance at Baseline
363 Citations2000Carlos Milla, Warren J. Warwick +1 more
It is concluded that the degree of glucose intolerance is a strong determinant of future lung function decline in patients with CF, and patients in the lowest quartile for insulin production at baseline experienced the highest rates of pulmonary function decline over time, suggesting a relationship between insulin deficiency and clinical deterioration.

It is suggested that health service provision for children will not need to change substantially over the next 10 years whereas services for adults will need to increase by about a third.
Archives of Disease in ChildhoodIncidence, population, and survival of cystic fibrosis in the UK, 1968-95
255 Citations1997J.A. Dodge, S Morison +6 more
The survival of successive cohorts continues to be better than earlier cohorts, the linear descent of the curves is still evident, and the infant mortality rate for cystic fibrosis is now under 20 per thousand per year and early childhood mortality is under five perousand per year.
BMJClinical outcome in relation to care in centres specialising in cystic fibrosis: cross sectional studyCommentary: Management in paediatric and adult cystic fibrosis centres improves clinical outcome
247 Citations1998Ravi Mahadeva, J.A. Dodge +6 more
Findings provide the first direct evidence that management of cystic fibrosis in paediatric and adult cystic Fibrosis centres results in a better clinical outcome, and strongly supports the provision of these specialist services.
ThoraxLow bone mineral density in adults with cystic fibrosis
225 Citations1999Charles Haworth, Peter Selby +9 more
Low bone density is prevalent in adult patients with cystic fibrosis and current levels of vitamin D supplementation appear to be inadequate, and vitamin D insufficiency was prevalent despite supplementation with 900 IU vitamin D per day.
ThoraxOsteoporosis and osteopenia in adults and adolescents with cystic fibrosis: prevalence and associated factors
204 Citations2000S.P. Conway
Osteopenia and osteoporosis are common findings in a heterogeneous population of adults with CF, and patients at most risk are those with severe disease and those who have used corticosteroids.
ThoraxTreatment compliance in adults with cystic fibrosis.
189 Citations1994Janice Abbott, M Dodd +2 more
The reported degree of compliance and reasons for poor compliance were treatment specific, and those involved in the care of patients with cystic fibrosis were able to predict patient compliance.
ThoraxAttitudes to fertility issues among adults with cystic fibrosis in Scotland
84 Citations2000Andrew Fair
Parenting and fertility issues are important for men and women with cystic fibrosis but many patients do not find out what they want to know from discussion with health professionals and patients want discussion to begin in early adolescence.
Disability and RehabilitationTransition from paediatric to adult-orientated care for adolescents with cystic fibrosis
50 Citations1998S.P. Conway
It must be the overriding aim of the professional health carers to encourage these patients to confront the problems of adolescence and to help them maintain their physical and emotional stability throughout this challenging period.
Current Opinion in PediatricsReproductive health in young people with cystic fibrosis
19 Citations1995Susan M. Sawyer
How cystic fibrosis affects the reproductive health of male and female patients with this chronic illness is reviewed, recent advances are highlighted, and some deficiencies that still exist are identified.
Respiratory MedicinePassive smoking in cystic fibrosis
18 Citations1990Hans Gilljam, Carin Stenlund +2 more
The results indicate that a smoke-free environment may be important for CF patients and general information is insufficient and extensive psychological support to the families is probably necessary.
