Comparison of Different Functional Capacity Tests in Cystic Fibrosis Patients With Acute Pulmonary Exacerbation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study to investigate and compare functional capacity with different tests and to evaluate the relationship between functional capacity and quality of life during acute pulmonary exacerbation in children with cystic fibrosis.
Exercise tests associated with prognostic values in CF patients and decreased exercise capacity has been correlated with a reduction in health-related quality of life. Pulmonary functions, functional capacity and quality of life will examine in this study.

Detailed Description
This study will be participated children with cystic fibrosis who will diagnosed acute pulmonary exacerbation. Patients' pulmonary function test, functional capacity will be assess and record at hospital admission and hospital discharge and outpatient clinic control. Quality of life will be evaluated at only outpatient clinic control .
Pulmonary function test will be assessed with spirometry, functional capacity will be evaluated with 1-minute sit to stand test and 3-minute step test. And quality of life will be evaluated Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 1 minute sit to stand test (STS) repetitions [November 2019- January 2021]
number of STS completed at hospital admissions, hospital discharge and outpatient time
- 3 minute step test [November 2019- January 2021]
number of completed step at hospital admissions, hospital discharge and outpatient time
- pulmonary functions [November 2019- January 2021]
pulmonary functions assessment via spirometry
- Quality of life assesment [November 2019- January 2021]
Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) included 4 different age. These versions are teen/adult version,child version,parent version for children, preschool version. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health. This questionnaire will be filled only once.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Maximal heart rate [November 2019- January 2021]
maximal heart rate during 3-minute step test
- Heart rate [November 2019- January 2021]
difference pre and post test heart beat number
- oxygen saturation [November 2019- January 2021]
difference pre and post test percentage of oxygen saturation
- dyspnea [November 2019- January 2021]
difference pre and post test breathlessness with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating worse outcome.
- quadriceps fatigue [November 2019- January 2021]
difference pre and post test quadriceps fatigue with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating worse outcome.
- fatigue [November 2019- January 2021]
difference pre and post test fatigue with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating worse outcome.
- hospitalization frequency [1 year]
number of hospitalization per year
