There are 1522 mutations in
CFTR listed on the mutation

The most common mutation is
Δ F508-70% CF alleles in

Cilia do not beat well when PCL volume is depleted
Mucins are not diluted and cannot be easily swept
up the airway
Mucus becomes concentrated
 Results in increased adhesion to airway surface
 Promotes chronic infection

Mucus---helps clear airway of bacteria
Clearance of mucus depends on
◦ Ciliary function
◦ Mucin secretion
◦ Volume of airway surface liquid (ASL)
 Forms periciliary liquid layer
 Dilutes mucus---facilates entrapment of
bacteria and clearance
 Optimal volume of ASL regulated by Na+
absorption and Cl- secretion

Modify phenotype and disease expression in CF
TGF-beta 1
◦ potent suppressor of T cell activation
◦ can decrease T cell proliferation and cytokine production
◦ In a study of 808 patients w delta F 508 mutation,
polymorphisms in the TGF-beta 1 gene were associated with more
severe CF lung disease

MBL — Mannose-binding lectin
◦ important component of the complement system
◦ deficiencies increase the risk for pyogenic infections
◦ In CF, variant MBL alleles associated with reduced lung function,
increased risk for complex infections, and early death

polymorphisms of TNF-a
◦ increase susceptibility to Ps. aeruginosa infection and contribute
to the clinical manifestations of CF






Individuals with CF are living longer
most common cause of death in CF is respiratory failure
secondary to pulmonary infection.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia complex
are the pathogens most commonly associated with a
shortened life span
With prolonged infection, P. aeruginosa converts to a mucoid
phenotype by the production of alginate
Conversion to mucoidy is associated with worsening lung
function
increase in the prevalence of several potentially pathogenic
microorganisms in CF

Cystic Fibrosis Pulmonary Guidelines: Treatment of
Pulmonary Exacerbations
Patrick A. Flume1, Peter J. Mogayzel, Jr.2, Karen A. Robinson3, Christopher H. Goss4,
Randall L. Rosenblatt5, Robert J. Kuhn6, Bruce C. Marshall7, and the Clinical Practice
Guidelines for Pulmonary Therapies Committee*
“A systematic review was performed addressing a series of questions related
to treatment of pulmonary exacerbations. For each question,
the body of evidence was evaluated by the full Committee. Recommendations
were drafted using the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
(USPSTF) grading scheme, which provides a mechanism to weigh
the quality of evidence and the potential harms and benefits in
determining recommendations (Table 1)”
Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 2009 Nov;180(9):802-8. Epub 2009 Sept. 3
Although they did not meet criteria for this systematic
review, there are observational studies that suggest better
outcomes for patients treated in a hospital than for those
treated at home (10, 11).
If there is any doubt, admission to the hospital is the
suggested option. This may be particularly relevant for patients
with comorbidities that complicate care and for patients with
more severe exacerbations who may be too fatigued or in too
much distress to be able to perform the therapies adequately.
For example, nutritional needs, elevated in most patients with
CF, are even greater during an exacerbation (8)

Chest physiotherapy
◦ Postural drainage and percussion
◦ P.E.P valve, Acapella valve, Flutter valve
◦ High frequency chest wall oscillation
Albuterol
◦ Bronchodilation
◦ Increase ciliary efficiency
Dornase alpha/recombinant DNase (pulmozyme)
◦ Breaks down excess DNA from neutrophils and bacteria
Hypertonic Saline by nebulization
◦ Thins secretions

Saiman et al., 2003 double blind placebo controlled
trial of azithromycin
◦ 185 patients randomized to receive 3 times
weekly azithromycin or placebo
◦ Improvements in lung function, weight, and
number of pulmonary exacerbations (decreased
courses of antibiotics and days in hospital)

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. JAMA 290(13):1749; 2003.




Follow nutrition parameters closely
Pancreatic enzymes
Vitamin supplementation
◦ Fat soluble vitamins ADEK daily
Other nutritional supplementation
◦ Tube feedings
◦ High calorie supplemental shakes, formulas





Initiate if have malabsorption history
◦ Fecal fat
◦ Fecal elastase
May need H2 blocker or PPI to activate enteric
coated enzyme
Enzymes with meals and snacks, usually keep at
bedside
Patients bring their own, as hospital typically does
not carry the branded enzymes
Fibrosing colonopathy
◦ Strictures in the colon associated with high dose
enzyme use (enzyme gets to colon and causes
damage leading to scarring/stricture)



Ursodiol
◦ Increased bile flow
◦ Decrease toxicity of bile acids
Sclerotherapy, portosystemic shunts
Liver transplantation---only curative treatment for
portal hypertension




Quality of life
◦ Frequent hospitalizations
◦ Time spent on therapies
◦ Morbidity from disease
◦ Restrictions secondary to disease
Adherence to therapies
Family planning
End of life issues



CF is a genetic disorder that most commonly
results in chronic pulmonary infections and issues
related to pancreatic insufficiency
Ultimately, the majority of patients still die from
respiratory failure due to chronic infections
Appropriate treatment is complex and requires a
team approach

Lack of knowledge/info on CF specific care

Standard order sets for admission may not apply

- CF DM educator should take point on CF DM
◦ Currently, “CF survival guide” on drop down menu in CF order set
◦ interns/residents should use the CF checklist and survival guide
◦ this should become available on the Hospitalist Wiki?
◦ DVT prophylaxis should not be used as a matter of course
◦ Patients on daily vit K therapy
◦ Patients at much higher risk for hemoptysis or bleeding than for
clotting
◦ Routine insulin orders generally not applicable, CFRD different than type
1 DM
◦ Endo consult appropriate for anyone on a pump


We should define a clear procedure for admission of CF "tune
ups“
◦ May be several days before a bed available
◦ CF team always contact admitting team
◦ Information not always passed along
◦ CF team always dictates a stat note with reason for
admission, order recs
Lack of communication on inpatients
◦ Charles rounds with pulmonary team daily
◦ Charles discusses patients with Diane daily
◦ Entire CF team rounds wed afternoon
◦ ? Should we round with medicine teams once a week also,
or after an admission
◦ Resident or Intern should contact Charles to arrange a good
time, Monday?
