Individuals with cystic fibrosis — adults as well infants and children — have long struggled to gain and maintain their weight. But how has the current widespread use of highly effective modulator treatments — HEMT — changed that situation? That’s the focus of this eCysticFibrosis Review Special Edition: CF and Nutrition and HEMT.
The first part of this program presented an evidence-based Expert Commentary on the current status of weight gain, obesity, and nutrition among people with CF by guest author Katie McDonald, PhD, MS, RDN, CSP, a clinical dietitian at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City. The second part is a podcast interview, providing further in-depth discussions between Katie McDonald and three top CF nutrition experts.

The advent of triple CFTR modulator therapy – ETI (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor) — poses a number of clinical questions. Are three agents really better than two? For which patients, in what circumstances? What does the CF Team need to understand to ensure their patients get maximum benefit?
Join us as we explore these questions with guest author Professor Edward McKone MD, from St. Vincent’s University Hospital and University College Dublin School of Medicine, in this eCysticFibrosis Review podcast.

Do cystic fibrosis lung impairment and the COVID-19 virus create the disastrous combination they would seem to make? What do the currently published data say about the clinical effects of the pandemic on people living with CF? How have the safety-mandated lockdowns and clinic closures affected CF care teams’ ability to effectively maintain their patients’ health? What information out there is proved, what’s speculation, and what is simply unknown?
These questions are the focus of this eCysticFibrosis Review Special COVID Edition issue. Lisa Saiman MD, MPH, professor of pediatrics at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, analyzes the current literature investigating these questions and then speaks directly with front-line clinicians about what they’re experiencing as they navigate a disrupted health care system.
In addition to presenting her analysis of the data-driven evidence describing the effects of the COVID-19 virus on people with cystic fibrosis, Dr. Saiman also spoke directly with front-line CF clinicians to learn about what they’ve been experiencing as they work to maintain effective patient care. Transcripts of these interviews can be accessed throughout the newsletter.

Studies have shown that adolescent and young adult women with cystic fibrosis often turn to their CF care team for answers to their questions about their sexual and reproductive health. But how prepared are CF clinicians to initiate conversations? Do they have the most current data about pregnancy decisions for women taking CFTR modulators? When should modulator therapy be stopped? When is it safe to continue?
In this eCysticFibrosis Review podcast, Dr. Traci Kazmerski from UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and Dr. Natalie West from Johns Hopkins University take us into the clinic to address these important questions.
