Several studies have demonstrated safety and tolerability of 7% hypertonic saline (HS) in infants and young children.69–71 Unlike a study in older individuals with CF,72 a randomized controlled trial of 344 children <5 years failed to show a reduction in the primary endpoint of pulmonary exacerbation rate.73 However, in 2 small studies that were part of this larger trial, infant lung function and the LCI did demonstrate improvement in subjects receiving 7% HS.73,74 Given these findings, the CF Foundation recommends that HS be offered to patients based on individual circumstances, either for chronic use or during acute pulmonary exacerbation. This period marks a time of growth and development that is critical to achieve optimal nutritional status and maintain lung health. Grade: I.

There are no randomized clinical trials of pulmonary exacerbation treatment in preschool-aged children with CF; thus, these guidelines for management were based on consensus recommendations, and management decisions should be individualized. ABSTRACT: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects various body systems, leading to premature death. Sputum induction in young cystic fibrosis patients. We fully expect these recommendations to evolve over time, as randomized controlled trials in these younger patients may provide evidence in favor of or against consensus recommendations.

Vitamin D deficiency in CF has been associated with decreased bone mass in children, failure to achieve expected peak bone mass in young adults, and osteoporosis in mature adults, and it may impact other comorbidities common in CF. Chest radiographs have been shown to detect the existence and progression of CF lung disease in infants,29 and preschool-aged30 and school-aged children.31 Chest radiographs demonstrate a higher correlation than FEV1/forced vital capacity with Pseudomonas acquisition in young children with CF.32 Chest radiograph scores are superior to FEV1 in detecting concurrent abnormalities on chest CT scans,33 and in predicting future FEV1 and chest radiograph scores.34 To monitor disease progression, chest radiographs should be obtained at a minimum of every other year following a baseline radiograph at diagnosis. Table 1: Recommendation 11. Updated from 2003, these guidelines on infection prevention and control for cystic fibrosis provide recommendations for people with CF, their families, and health care providers to help reduce the spread of germs in the clinic and hospital setting, as well as in everyday life. The care of the preschool-aged child with CF includes complex, time-consuming treatment regimens and overcoming behavioral challenges common in this age group to maintain lung health and optimize growth. On the other hand, mucociliary clearance appeared to play a less prominent role in the clearance of those proteins after pulmonary delivery.

Even though there is no universally agreed definition of pulmonary exacerbation, prompt and aggressive treatment with a multidisciplinary approach is recommended. Lung Clearance Index and HRCT are complementary markers of lung abnormalities in young children with CF. There is a need for the implementation of strategies to increase public awareness of the health risks associated with consanguineous marriage. The priority areas identified included (1) exploring pathogenic mechanisms of early CF lung disease; (2) leveraging newborn screening to elucidate the natural history of early lung disease; (3) developing a spectrum of biomarkers of early lung disease that reflects CF pathophysiology, clinical outcome, and response to treatment; (4) exploring the role of genetics/genomics (e.g., modifier genes, gene-environmental interactions, and epigenetics) in early CF pathogenesis; (5) defining early microbiological events in CF lung disease; and (6) elucidating the initial airway inflammatory, remodeling, and repair mechanisms in CF lung disease.
