| Popis: | Background Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is an established treatment option for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with type 2 respiratory failure but the benefits of this therapy remain unclear. This study examined the long-term outcomes and response to NIV in a large adult CF cohort. Methods All patients attending a UK adult CF Centre receiving NIV as treatment for hypercapnic respiratory failure over a nine-year period were studied prospectively. Detailed clinical data was recorded and longitudinal data measurements were examined for the three years pre and post NIV initiation to assess effect of this intervention. Results 94 patients, mean age 29.9 (SD 9.7) years, percent predicted FEV1 21.5 (7.3), received NIV. All patients commenced NIV in a hospital setting. 21 remain alive, 24 received double lung transplant, 49 died without lung transplantation. NIV use was associated with a stabilisation and improvement in both FEV1 and FVC from NIV set up to three years post follow-up, in addition to an increase in body mass index and attenuation of PCO2 (all p Conclusions NIV use in CF adults is associated with improvements in lung function and attenuation of hypercapnia which is maintained for up to three years post NIV initiation. Outcomes for CF patients with severe pulmonary disease commenced on NIV have significantly improved with fifty percent of patients expected to survive for approximately five years. |
