Seasonal variation of lung function in cystic fibrosis
Published:
- Longitudinal modeling and Cincinnati CF center data were used for estimating seasonal fluctuation in lung function of subjects with CF
- Findings were compared with the UK and Danish CF populations
- Seasonal variation in lung function existed, compared to international cohorts, the seasonal fluctuations occurred earlier and with greater volatility
- Late summer/winter exhibit highest lung function variability and warrant proactive measures of care at the center level
