Abstract
Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) has enabled earlier diagnosis and has improved nutritional and growth-related outcomes in children with CF. For those with a positive NBS for CF that do not meet the diagnostic criteria for CF, the clinical entity called CFTR-Related Metabolic Syndrome (CRMS) or CF Screen- Positive, Inconclusive Diagnosis (CFSPID) is used. Although most children with CRMS remain relatively asymptomatic, studies have shown that between 11% and 48% of these patients may eventually progress to a diagnosis of CF over time. Although the CF Foundation guidelines for CRMS management and European CF Society guidelines for CFSPID have some similarities, there are also some differences. Here, we review challenging case scenarios that highlight remaining gaps in CRMS guidelines, thus supporting the need to update and unify existing guidelines.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Energy Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of materials, engineering, chemistry, physics and biology relevant to energy conversion and storage. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important energy applications.
