Impaired Fasting Glucose in Cystic Fibrosis

چکیده
OBJECTIVE While glucose tolerance abnormalities are common in cystic fibrosis (CF), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) has scarcely been explored. No studies have examined the relation between IFG and clinical status. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data were retrieved from the University of Minnesota CF database on oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) performed in 1996-2005. Subjects were identified as normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or CF-related diabetes without fasting hyperglycemia (CFRD FH-). Patients with fasting hyperglycemia were excluded. The presence of IFG was assessed within each category. In a separate case-control cohort study, subjects with IFG were matched to CF control subjects by age, sex, and OGTT class to explore outcomes. RESULTS For the total population (n = 310), the prevalence of IFG was 22%, and by OGTT class was NGT 14%, IGT 31%, CFRD FH- 53%. Within the cohort study, mortality was significantly reduced in IFG (two vs. nine deaths, odds ratio [OR] = 0.2 [95% CI 0.04-0.9]). IFG did not confer increased risk of progression to diabetes (OR 0.66 [0.29-1.48]). Lung function was better in pediatric IFG subjects with IGT and not significantly worse in adults with IGT or adults and children with NGT and CFRD FH-. BMI was not significantly different in IFG subjects versus control subjects. CONCLUSIONS Contrary to expectations in patients with CF, IFG appeared to be associated with improved survival and was not associated with worse nutritional or pulmonary status or increased progression to fasting hyperglycemia.

New criteria for impaired fasting glucose and screening for diabetes in cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes mellitus (CFRD) is the most frequent comorbidity in cystic fibrosis. Its clinical relevance is stressed by the association with increased mortality, and decreased pulmonary and nutritional status. An annual oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is recommended as a screening test for CFRD, but this is often not realised because of its time- and resource-consuming na...
متن کاملHigh Variability in Oral Glucose Tolerance among 1,128 Patients with Cystic Fibrosis: A Multicenter Screening Study
BACKGROUND In cystic fibrosis, highly variable glucose tolerance is suspected. However, no study provided within-patient coefficients of variation. The main objective of this short report was to evaluate within-patient variability of oral glucose tolerance. METHODS In total, 4,643 standardized oral glucose tolerance tests of 1,128 cystic fibrosis patients (median age at first test: 15.5 [11.5...

متن کاملInvestigation of Screening Methods for Impaired Glucose Control in Children with Cystic Fibrosis
The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) used for the diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes (CFRD) is inconvenient and requires a great deal of patient cooperation. Other investigations such as measuring fasting glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentrations, could offer several practical advantages over the OGTT for diabetic screening. To investigate the ability of these tes...
