Abstract
Objective
Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) treatment was shown to reduce airway colonization rate of P. aeruginosa (Pa). We aimed to identify factors associated with sustained Pa infection, while on ETI therapy.
Methods
Using the European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry, people with CF (pwCF) who initiated ETI therapy in 2019-2021 were identified. Multivariable logistic regression was used to explore clinical and demographic factors associated with the probability of remaining Pa chronic, while changes in clinical data from one year before to one year after ETI initiation were assessed using multivariable semiparametric models.
Results
In total, 6048 pwCF from 30 countries were Pa positive one year prior to ETI initiation. Of these, 3708 remained positive one year after ETI initiation, while 2340 shifted to Pa negative. Female sex (Odds Ratio (OR) 1.51, p<001), age (OR 1.56, P<0.001), D508F heterozygous (OR 1.38, P<0.001) or other genotype vs D508F homozygous (OR 2.38, P<0.001), BMI Z-score (OR 0.82, P<0.001), ppFEV1 (OR 0.66, P<0.001), GNI (OR 1.06, P=0.02), chronic Burkholderia (OR 0.45, P<0.001) and CF related diabetes (OR 0.82, P=0.001) were factors found associated with the probability of remaining Pa chronic. Change in ppFEV1 following ETI was similar between those who remained Pa positive (12.0, 95% CI: 11.2–12.7) and those who did not (12.3, 95% CI: 11.5–13.0, p=0.31). BMI Z score change also showed no significant difference (0.40, 95% CI: 0.36–0.44 vs. 0.42, 95% CI: 0.38–0.46, p=0.08). The expected mean hospital days after ETI were higher in those who remained Pa positive: 1.8 (95%CI: 1.4 to 2.2) versus 1.2 (95%CI: 0.9 to 1.4, p<0.001).
Conclusion
Several factors specific of more severe CF disease were linked to a higher probability of remaining Pa positive despite ETI. Nonetheless, most clinical parameters showed similar improvement regardless of Pa status changes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cystic Fibrosis is the official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society. The journal is devoted to promoting the research and treatment of cystic fibrosis. To this end the journal publishes original scientific articles, editorials, case reports, short communications and other information relevant to cystic fibrosis. The journal also publishes news and articles concerning the activities and policies of the ECFS as well as those of other societies related the ECFS.
