Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes with strict glycaemic control is not associated with frequent intravenous antibiotics use for pulmonary infections

Highlights • Long observation period of six years in 138 CF patients. • A CFRD population with strict glycaemic control (81% below target HbA1c). • IV antibiotics frequency is related to P. aeruginosa and impaired lung function. • No independent relation between well-controlled CFRD and IV antibioti...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Long observation period of six years in 138 CF patients. • A CFRD population with strict glycaemic control (81% below target HbA1c). • IV antibiotics frequency is related to P. aeruginosa and impaired lung function. • No independent relation between well-controlled CFRD and IV antibiotics frequency. • There is a potential role of glycaemic control on infection frequency in CF patients.
