Assessing correlations between spirometry and Shwachman‐Kulczycki score in children and adolescents

Abstract: A retrospective observational study was carried out to analyze the correlations between formal pulmonary function tests and the Shwachman-Kulczycki (SK) score. Forty-six Brazilian cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, clinically stable, aged 7-19 years, were included. Clinical and radiological findings of the SK score system and spirometry variables were assessed by independent observers in a blinded manner. The strongest correlation (r = 0.75; 95% CI, 0.59-0.85; P < 0.001) was found for forced expiratory volume in 1… Show more

“…Estudos prévios que incluíram pacientes pediátricos de maior média de idade (abrangendo adolescentes) encontraram importante relação entre escore de Shwachman e testes de função pulmonar, especialmente VEF 1 [20][21][22]. No presente estudo, embora verificada diferença nesse escore na comparação entre os grupos, não se observaram melhores parâmetros espirométricos no grupo IRT.…”

“…Como esses parâmetros se relacionam individualmente com a gravidade do quadro clínico, considerou-se que o ES é um bom método de avaliação geral da gravidade. Outro trabalho brasileiro evidenciou que o ES apresenta uma correlação positiva com o volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo 63 .…”

“…[1][2][3] Since publication of the classic work by Shwachman and Kulczycki in 1958, various other scores have been developed and published. [1][2][3][4][5][6] As pulmonary insufficiency is related to the majority of deaths for patients with CF, a specific evaluation of pulmonary impairment would be recommendable and, given these circumstances, some authors have been interested in developing scores based on radiological findings using chest radiography or tomography. 7 It is important to reiterate that high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the thorax is the ideal method owing to the characteristics of pulmonary impairment in cystic fibrosis, given that it is recommended for evaluation of the lung parenchyma.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] The use of scores enables the longitudinal evaluation of patients and standardized comparisons between them, and is therefore useful both at the clinical and research areas. [1][2][3] Since publication of the classic work by Shwachman and Kulczycki in 1958, various other scores have been developed and published.…”
