Sleep-disordered breathing (SBD) is common in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, impacting quality of life. Early screening and treatment of SBD in CF care can improve patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonary Medicine
- Sleep Medicine
- Genetics
Background:
- Sleep-disordered breathing (SBD) is an under-recognized comorbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF).
- Respiratory abnormalities during sleep, including nocturnal hypoxemia and obstructive sleep apnea, negatively affect CF patients' quality of life.
- Untreated SBD can worsen pulmonary, cardiovascular, and metabolic health in individuals with CF.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an overview of SBD for cystic fibrosis clinicians.
- To highlight the prevalence, treatment, and research needs for SBD in the CF population.
- To advocate for the integration of SBD screening into routine CF clinical care.
Main Methods:
- This is a review article.
- It synthesizes current knowledge on SBD in CF.
- It offers clinical recommendations for CF providers.
Main Results:
- SBD is prevalent across the lifespan in CF patients.
- Effective screening and timely treatment of SBD are crucial.
- Lack of treatment exacerbates negative health outcomes.
Conclusions:
- SBD evaluation should be incorporated into CF clinical care.
- Improving SBD management can enhance outcomes for affected CF patients.
- Further research is needed to optimize SBD care in CF.
