"pulmonary exacerbation"

Slides: 1–4 of 4
This slide shows an analytic framework for a CER on the use of recombinant human growth hormone in patients with cystic fibrosis. The population with cystic fibrosis, including subgroups (age, gender, baseline clinical status, prior treatment) receives recombinant human growth hormone. The intermediate outcomes include IGF factors, protein turnover, nutritional status, growth measures, bone measures, lung function, pulmonary exacerbations, antibiotic use, exercise tolerance, sex hormones, and pubertal development. The final health outcomes include mortality, hospitalization, bone fracture, and health-related quality of life. The adverse events include altered glucose, diabetes mellitus, lymphoid overgrowth, and malignancy.
