“…HRQOL was measured using the WHOQOL-BREF 18 and CFQOL 19 questionnaires, which are Portuguese validated. The CFQOL questionnaire contains 44 questions and consists of the following domains: physical functioning, role, vitality, emotional functioning, social, body image, eating disturbances, treatment burden, health perceptions, weight, respiratory symptoms, and digestive symptoms.…”

BACKGROUND: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has received much attention in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The goal of this study was to evaluate the association between clinical, lung function, sleep quality, and polysomnographic variables with 2 HRQOL questionnaires, the shorterversion World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) and Cystic Fibrosis Quality of Life (CFQOL) questionnaires, in adult subjects with CF. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, 51 subjects underwent clinical evaluation and overnight polysomnography and answered WHO-QOL-BREF, CFQOL, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaires. In addition, pulmonary function tests, 6-min walk tests, and echocardiography were performed. RESULTS: For WHOQOL-BREF scores, the sleep quality index was associated with the physical domain; the percent-of-predicted 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and sleepiness scale were associated with the psychological domain; the percent-of-predicted FEV 1 and sleep quality index were associated with the social relationship domain; and the sleep quality index was associated with the environment domain. For CFQOL scores, age at diagnosis, clinical score, and sleep quality index were associated with the physical functioning domain; the percent-of-predicted 6MWD and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure were associated with the role domain; sex and sleep quality index were associated with the vitality domain; the apnea-hypopnea index was associated with the emotional functioning domain; sex and body mass index (BMI) were associated with the body image domain; the percent-of-predicted 6MWD and sleep quality index were associated with the health perception domain; age, sex, BMI, and arousal index were associated with the weight domain; age, sex, percent-of-predicted FEV 1 , percent-of-predicted 6MWD, and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure were associated with the respiratory symptom domain; and the clinical score was associated with the digestive symptom domain. CONCLUSIONS: The sleep quality index score, 6MWD, sleepiness scale score, and FEV 1 were predictors of WHOQOL-BREF scores. Age at diagnosis, clinical score, sleep quality score, 6MWD, sex, apnea-hypopnea index, BMI, current age, arousal index, FEV 1 , and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure were predictors of CFQOL scores.

“…The other questionnaires were filled out by the subjects according to the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire instructions. 18 Scores for each domain ranged from 0 to 100. A score of 100 was classified as very good quality of life, and scores above 50 were classified as good quality of life.…”

BACKGROUND: Regular aerobic exercise in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) improves aerobic conditioning and delays disease progression, resulting in better quality of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an aerobic exercise program based on verbal and written guidelines on maximum exercise capacity using a cardiopulmonary exercise test, quality of life, and the self-reported aerobic exercise practice of children and adolescents with CF. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial followed guidelines for physical exercise in a CF center. Subjects were assigned to 2 groups: intervention (group 1), with 17 subjects; and control (group 2), also with 17 subjects. Data were collected from October 2010 to October 2011, and the study population comprised 7-20-y-old children and adolescents with CF. The intervention consisted of handing out a manual with guidelines for aerobic physical exercises and reinforcing recommendations in telephone calls every 2 weeks. RESULTS: Thirty-four subjects were included in the study, 20 of whom were boys (58.5%). The groups were similar at baseline. In group 1, 6 subjects (35.2%) reported practicing physical exercises regularly. The mean age was 13.4 ؎ 2.8 y, the mean percent-ofpredicted FEV 1 was 95.5 ؎ 17.9%, and the mean peak oxygen uptake (V O 2 ) relative to body mass was 34.9 ؎ 9.0 mL/kg/min. In group 2, 4 subjects (23.5%) reported practicing physical exercises regularly. The mean age was 12.7 ؎ 3.3 y, the mean percent-of-predicted FEV 1 was 100.1 ؎ 21.2%, and the mean peak V O 2 was 33.2 ؎ 8.2 mL/kg/min. In group 1, there was a significant increase in physical exercise practice as reported by subjects after 3 months of intervention compared with group 2 (P ‫؍‬ .01). No statistically significant differences were found for the other variables. CONCLUSIONS: Verbal and written guidelines for aerobic exercise, together with supervision over the telephone, had a positive impact on the self-reported regular physical exercise practice of children and adolescents. However, no improvement was found in lung function and maximum exercise capacity or domains of the quality of life questionnaire.

“…7 Measures of functional capacity have been increasingly used in the follow-up of adults with CF in order to monitor disease progression and treatment effects, and to assess the prognosis of the individuals and their ability to exercise. 3 Besides the functional and pulmonary impairments, the impact of disease on quality of life of adults with CF is influenced by several factors, including the dysfunction of multiple organs and need for complex treatments, 8 as well as psychological and social aspects. 9 Therefore, the quality of life contributes to the assessment of overall treatment efficiency and helps adjust the multidisciplinary team approach.…”
