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

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) 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* 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)

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 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? Standard order sets for admission may not apply 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 - CF DM educator should take point on CF DM 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?
