Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease in the Caucasian population and is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene that encodes for a chloride/bicarbonate channel expressed on the memb...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease due to mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. With the advent of highly effective modulator therapy targeting the abnormal CFTR protein, people with CF...
The most common inherited condition that results in death, particularly in those of Caucasian heritage, is cystic fibrosis (CF). Of all the young adults diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, 20% will develop hyperglycemia as a complication, later classifie...
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is the most common comorbidity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). CFRD has been correlated with important clinical outcomes, including poor nutrition, reduced pulmonary function, and earlier mortality. Howe...
This paper delineates several aspects of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD)—a common complication of cystic fibrosis (CF). CFRD exhibits a predilection for older individuals with CF, yet it also extends its influence on children and adoles...
This study investigated the prevalence of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) in the Croatian cystic fibrosis (CF) population, the age at diagnosis, insulin requirements, and the relationship between age at diagnosis and other clinical parameters...
Background: Insulin secretion and glucose tolerance is annually assessed in patients with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) through oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) as a screening measure for cystic fibrosis-related diabetes. We aimed to describe the distri...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive inherited monogenic disease in Caucasians. As medical technology progresses and the quality of patient care improves, the survival time of patients with CF has increased, which results in mo...
Background: Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) has become more common due to higher life expectancy with cystic fibrosis. Early recognition and prompt treatment of CFRD leads to improved outcomes. Methods: We performed a network meta-analysis (N...
Background: Life expectancy has increased in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients; however, the rate of mortality is still high, and in a majority of cases, the cause of death is due to respiratory deterioration. Vitamin D plays an important role in immunit...
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is a complication associated with a negative prognosis in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Although the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the widely recommended screening test for CFRD diagnosis, continu...
Introduction: The impact of ETI therapy on pulmonary function and nutritional status has been widely studied; the literature on the possible outcomes on glycemic control and insulin requirement in patients affected by CFRD is controversial. Aim: The...
Objectives: To describe the results of nutritional and morphofunctional assessment in a cohort of adults with cystic fibrosis; to evaluate differences in nutritional status between patients with and without exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic involv...
Objective: Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) affects up to half of the people with cystic fibrosis (CF) by adulthood. CFRD is primarily caused by pancreatic dysfunction that leads to insufficient insulin release and/or insulin resistance. Exocr...
(1) Background: In cystic fibrosis (CF), the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is recommended from 10 years old annually to screen and diagnose cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). Alternative OGTT characteristics (glucose curve shape, time to g...
Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) is a new CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) modulator treatment, used over the last few years, which has shown an improvement in different clinical outcomes in patients with cysti...
Background: Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is a frequent comorbidity in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). While insulin secretion defects are the primary mechanism in CFRD pathophysiology, insulin resistance may contribute as an additio...
Introduction: Limited studies have explored the impact of cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators on glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in patients with CF, yielding varied results. This study aims to assess al...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common recessively autosomally and inherited disorder in the Caucasian population. It is incurable, multi-systemic disease with progressive course. CF is caused by CFTR gene mutation, the product of which is Cystic Fi...
