Abstract
Background: Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) was made available to eligible women in September 2020 by NHS Scotland.
Methods: Retrospective data collection for the 13 pregnancies in women taking ETI from the West of Scotland Adult Cystic Fibrosis Unit, September 2020-December 2023.
Results: Mean pre-pregnancy FEV1 was 2.26L, 70% predicted (range 1.25-3.19); (38-86% predicted). Mean FEV1 post-pregnancy was 2.29L, 71% predicted (range 1.49-3.40); (45-92% predicted). The mean age at conception (29 years) and mean percentage predicted FEV1 (70%) were higher than in other UK studies. Two pregnancies resulted in miscarriage, the remaining 11 pregnancies resulted in a live birth. Seven women had a pulmonary exacerbation of CF during pregnancy. Three of four women with FEV1 < 60% predicted had uncomplicated pregnancies with no pulmonary exacerbations.
Conclusion: We demonstrate that people with CF and varying spectrums of lung disease who take CFTR modulators can have uncomplicated pregnancies with positive lung function outcomes.
