Adherence to airway clearance therapies by adult cystic fibrosis patients.
BACKGROUND Airway clearance therapy (ACT) is critical in cystic fibrosis (CF). OBJECTIVES To determine rates of self-reported adherence to ACT by patients treated in an adult CF program, to identify patient characteristics associated with poor adherence, to typify adherence according to ACT technique, and to indicate reasons for poor adherence. METHODS Our cross-sectional study included CF ...
متن کاملTreatment Adherence: Airway Clearance Therapy in Cystic Fibrosis
In CF, as in other chronic, ultimately fatal disorders, therapeutic goals are most often compromised by poor treatment adherence. Both clinical experience and formal studies indicate that in CF, patients comply with about 50% of their prescribed treatments. However, the significance of that figure is distorted by the fact that compliance with individual components of the therapeutic regimen var...
متن کاملAirway clearance in cystic fibrosis.
Airway clearance is considered an integral component of standard therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Although the pathophysiology of CF has not been conclusively delineated, most of the theories revolve around the development of viscous airway secretions.1–4 These secretions are thought to be poorly cleared from the lung, leading to airway obstruction and infection with Staphylococcus au...
متن کاملAirway clearance techniques in cystic fibrosis.
Whilst the trials quoted in the Cochrane reviews [5–7] provide various degrees of quality of evidence, the key information that is missing from these studies is an understanding of the physiological principles by which these different techniques work. Physiologically, the techniques need to do the following. 1) Increase absolute peak expiratory flow (PEF) to move secretions towards the orophary...
متن کاملTrajectories of adherence to airway clearance therapy for patients with cystic fibrosis.
OBJECTIVE Although cross-sectional studies have demonstrated poor adherence to airway clearance therapy (ACT) for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), no studies have identified longitudinal patterns of adherence. The objective was to characterize and identify predictors of ACT adherence trajectories for individuals with CF. METHODS Secondary data analyses were conducted for a randomized clini...
