Introduction: Cystic fibrosis is a progressive multisystemic disease which affects the quality of life of patients. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate quality of life in Hungarian patients with cystic fibrosis. Methods: Validated Hungarian translation of The Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire – Revised was used to measure quality of life. Clinical severity was determined on the basis of Shwachman–Kulczycki score. Lung function was measured using spirometry. Results: 59 patients were included from five centres in Hungary. The relationships between 8–13 year-old children self-report and parent proxy report was 0.77 (p<0.001) in physical functioning, 0.07 (p<0.001) in emotional functioning, 0.51 (p<0.001) in eating, 0.21 (p<0.001) in treatment burden, 0.54 (p<0.001) in body image, 0.49 (p<0.001) in respiratory symptoms and 0.40 (p<0.001) in digestive symptoms domains. Conclusions: In contrast to physical domains weak correlations were observed between answers obtained from children and their parents in psychosocial domains. The perception of both patients and their parents should be assessed when measuring quality of life in paediatric patients with cystic fibrosis. Orv. Hetil., 2013, 154, 784–791.

Patient data obtained from the cystic fibrosis clinic of the Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto, Canada) over the period 1977 to 1988 were analyzed to compare the diabetic and nondiabetic cystic fibrosis patients. The pulmonary function, nutritional status, and survival data for 713 patients who attended the clinic over the 11-year period are reported. Insulin-dependent diabetes was found to exist in 37 (5.2%) of 713 patients. The patient age at time of diabetes diagnosis ranged from 2 to 34 years, with a mean ± SD of 20.0 ± 7.4 years. Patients who died in both the diabetic and nondiabetic groups had worse pulmonary and nutritional status than the surviving patients, but there were no significant differences between the diabetic and nondiabetic groups in those who died or in those who remained alive. Survival analysis showed a similar prognosis in the diabetic and nondiabetic groups. It is concluded that cystic fibrosis patients with diabetes are, for their age, not different from patients without diabetes with respect to pulmonary function, nutritional status, and survival.

The successful provision of optimal nutrition in children with serious diseases depends on the right diet, as well as the addition of specialized mixtures for its correction. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of supplemental nutrition in hereditary fermentopathy (cystic fibrosis) in children. The work included a three-year follow-up of 69 children aged 3 to 15 years suffering from cystic fibrosis. Patients were divided into two groups: 37 patients with cystic fibrosis group 1, receiving a modified version of treatment with additional enteral nutrition and 32 patients with cystic fibrosis group 2, receiving traditional treatment. The study conducted a comparative analysis of changes in trophic status in patients using nutritional support mixture produced in the Russian Federation – "Nutrien-standard"in diet therapy. Laboratory, functional and anthropometric parameters were monitored once a month. A significant increase in the physical development of patients was obtained only in the second year of use in the diet of supplementary nutrition, p<0.05. At the 3rd year of treatment, the results of positive dynamics of nutritional status in both groups were confirmed, while the increase in body mass index in the main group was 6.7%, and in the control group-only 1% (p<0.05). It is noted that the use of this mixture allows to achieve positive dynamics of nutritional status in 27% of patients and in 73% of cases to completely eliminate it. The obtained results prove the expediency of additional use of "Nutrient-standard" mixture in the complex therapy of patients with hereditary pancreatic enzyme deficiency, cystic fibrosis
