To describe early childhood growth trajectories within CF, to determine if growth trajectories are associated with differences in lung function at age six, and to identify factors that differ between trajectory groups.
Retrospective cohort study of children diagnosed with CF and born 2000-2011 using the US CFF Patient Registry. Annualized growth parameters prior to age six were included in group-based trajectory modeling to identify unique early life growth trajectories. FEV1 percent predicted (FEV1pp) at age six was compared between trajectory groups using linear regression. Factors associated with group membership were identified using multinomial logistic regression.
6,809 children met inclusion criteria. Six discrete growth trajectories were identified, including three groups that began with growth parameters >50th percentile, termed: \"always high\", \"gradual decliner\", \"rapid decliner\", and three which began with growth parameters <50th percentile, termed: \"rapid riser\", \"gradual riser\", \"always low\". FEV1pp at age six was highest for the Always High trajectory. The Always Low trajectory was nearly 10% lower than the Always High trajectory. Sex, ethnicity, newborn screening and pancreatic function were associated with trajectory class membership.
Distinct early life growth trajectories were identified within CF. Trajectories that met CFF nutritional guideline recommendations were associated with higher FEV1pp at age six. CF care teams should continue to partner with families to encourage interventions to support optimal growth to improve lung function in CF.
目的:为了描述CF中的幼儿成长轨迹,
方法:使用美国CFF患者登记处对2000-2011年被诊断为CF的儿童进行回顾性队列研究。
结果:6,809名儿童符合纳入标准。
结论:在CF中确定了不同的早期生命生长轨迹。
