Risk Factors and Outcomes of Pulmonary Exacerbations in Infants and Young Children With Cystic Fibrosis
We identified several risk factors that are associated with PEx diagnosis in the first 3 years of life and found that PEx in the first 3 years negatively impacted ppFEV1 at age 6 and BMI z-score at age 3. These data will be helpful for clinicians in counselling caregivers of VY-PwCF on PEx risk factors and identifying patients at higher risk of PEx in the first 3 years of life.
