Abstract
En 中文
Background: Pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) are important CF clinical events. Methods: We studied time to next PEx following intravenous (IV) antibiotic PEx treatment among Cleveland Ohio CF center patients occurring between January 2010 and September 2014. Patient demographics, clinical presentations, and treatments were modeled by Cox proportional hazards regression to identify covariates associated with time to next PEx. Results: 193 patients were treated for PEx; 155 had a subsequent IV-treated PEx. Six covariates were associated with future PEx hazard: number of PEx in the prior year (hazard ratio 25.1 for >= 3 and 4.4 for 1-2 prior-year PEx versus none; P < .0001), IV treatment duration in weeks (1.2; P = .0004), percent hospital treatment (1.1; P = .0018), and chronic inhaled aminoglycosides (2.5; P < .0001), leukotriene modifiers (1.8; P = .0031), and high dose ibuprofen (0.52; P = .0006). Conclusions: Time to next PEx was profoundly associated with prior-year PEx, suggestive of high-risk PEx phenotypes that warrant recognition and further study.
