简要总结
The goal of this research study is to better understand current treatment practices for pulmonary exacerbations (lung infections) and whether the Cystic Fibrosis National Patient Registry (CFFNPR)can be used for this type of study.
详细描述
Cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening genetic disease, is marked by acute episodes during which symptoms of lung infection increase and lung function decreases. These pulmonary exacerbations (PEs) are treated with varying antibiotics for varying time periods based on needs determined by individual patients, their families, and the health care providers. Cystic fibrosis pulmonary guidelines for the treatment of PE published by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) in 2009 provided recommendations for treatment and also identified key questions for which additional studies were needed.
Standard treatment for PE involves many facets including selection of antibiotics, duration of use, and outcomes that define treatment success. Understanding current treatment practices and measures of treatment success are needed before a study can be designed to define optimal treatment strategies.
This is a multi-center, prospective, observational study designed to prospectively follow patients with CF that are initially admitted to the hospital for treatment of a pulmonary exacerbation.
