Abstract

RATIONALE: Whether short-term glucose control in cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is associated with FEV

METHODS: Data from all patients with CFRD ages 6-21 years hospitalized in 2010-2016 for pulmonary exacerbations at our CF Center were analyzed, including CFRD status at each encounter, all FEV

RESULTS: Patients with CFRD who finished IV antibiotics at home were treated for longer than those fully treated in the hospital (22.2 vs. 13.8 days). In those who finished treatment at home, poor inpatient glycemic control was associated with lower lung function improvement: when comparing the 75th to the 25th percentile of each glycemic index (i.e., "poorer" vs. "better" glycemic control), FEV

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with CFRD who complete IV antibiotic treatment at home, poor inpatient glycemic control is associated with worse FEV
