Sleep quality and other non-pulmonary symptoms were chronic and persistent for up to a year.
Non-respiratory symptoms including poor sleep, fatigue, pain, anxiety, and depressive symptoms were prevalent among adults with cystic fibrosis and persisted after 1 year of follow-up, based on data from more than 200 individuals in a study presented at the
Participants were assessed via an online survey using the Fatigue Severity Scale , Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index , Patient Health Questionnaire , Generalized Anxiety Disorder , and PROMIS Pain Intensity . Chronic symptoms were defined as positive scores on four or more assessments for individuals who completed four or five timepoint assessments. The mean age of the participants was 37 years, 52% were female, 95% were non-Hispanic White, and 86% had been prescribed CF modulator therapy.
The findings suggest that patients with CF might benefit from routine assessments of non-pulmonary symptoms in clinical care and from access to healthcare providers, including mental health professionals, to address non-pulmonary concerns, the researchers wrote in their abstract. The study findings suggest that clinicians should assess people with CF for chronic fatigue and poor sleep along with depression and anxiety and provide treatment or referral, Riekert said."For example, cognitive behavioral therapy can effectively treat all the symptoms that were measured in our study," she noted.
