Full textOur results showed poor bone mineral mass in these CF children despite mild disease and good nutritional status. Neither vitamin K nor D was a predictor of bone health but weight and height Z-scores, fat-free mass, physical activity and lung function were all consistent predictors.
These results indicate that nutritional status as well as physical activity are key determinants of bone health in CF children and offer a unique opportunity in the prevention of CF-related bone disease. Further vitamin intervention research needs to be done in this population.

Full textCystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations on chromosome 7 in the gene for the CFTR protein. This gene encodes for a chloride channel on the apical surface of certain epithelial cells. The clinical manifestations of CF largely arise out of the resultant defect in water and electrolyte secretions in exocrine glands and epithelia such as are found in the pancreas, respiratory, gastrointestinal and genital tracts and sweat glands. First delineated as a clinical entity in the mid-20th century, CF was shown to be identifiable through the demonstration of elevated electrolyte levels in sweat - the sweat test. After many false starts, the underlying genetic defect was identified in the 1980s, culminating in the identification of the defective gene in 1989. This opened up possibilities of more accurate diagnosis and targeted treatments. Treatment of CF with pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy and antibiotics in the 1950s proved successful in controlling some of the severe and often fatal aspects of the disease. Further refinements to nutritional and antimicrobial therapies in the 1970s and 1980s produced rapid increases in longevity in many patients with CF. In SA, CF' has been identified since the 1950s. Clinical and research activities developed in the 1980s, mainly focused on the epidemiological and genetic aspects. Two clinical studies described features in children in Cape Town and adults in Johannesburg. My own clinical involvement in the RCCH's CF Service in Cape Town since 1992 led to the research activities that make up the bulk of this thesis. The thesis describes a number of aspects of CF as it affects patients in SA. The study population (described in Chapter 2) for most of the projects consists of 181 CF patients born between October 1974 and September 2003 who were identified by a combination of clinical features, positive sweat or genetic tests and/or post-mortem findings. All were resident in the Western Cape Province and received at least part of their health care at the RCCH. One hundred and sixty (88%) were born in the province and 21 settled in the province from elsewhere. Cape Town is unique in SA for its population demographics and the CF patients reflect this. CF has mainly been identified in coloured and white patients. Four black cases have been diagnosed. Compared with the CF population as described in the early 1980s, the CF population in the 21st century is larger (100 versus 64), older and there is a greater proportion of coloured patients. Nearly 3 in every 4 patients live in Cape Town.

Full textwith a child who has CF. The 'objective assessment of knowledge indicated a significant m improvement in' children's knowledge in the short-term. There were no statistically significant improvements in any of the other parameters assessed. The lack of significant improvements in self-management, behaviour, dietary intake and anthropometry may have been because the program had no effect, the parameters assessed or the instruments used (particularly the questionnaires) were not sufficiently sensitive, the sample size (which was determined by the CF population available) was too small or the duration of the intervention and follow-up was too short.Conclusion: Carers' unanimous recommendation of Go and Grow with CF, together with high levels of perceived learning, reported increase in confidence and improvement in children's knowledge in the short-term, indicate the benefits of the program.Although there was no statistically significant improvement in the anthropometric measurements after the intervention, 'the extensive data obtained during this study suggest that measurements of height and weight may underestimate the presence of poor nutritional status. It is likely that comprehensive assessments of body composition of children with CF would be useful in detecting mild degrees of malnutrition and in providing information about the effects of nutritional status on morbidity and mortality associated with the disease.Fat-based pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy dosing warrants further investigation given that parents had a strong preference for this method and that fat absorption remains abnormal in the majority of individuals who have pancreatic insufficiency. Evaluation of all pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy dosing methods are needed and this research suggests that dose should be assessed on a meal and snack basis, rather than just on daily intake, in order ++
for levels of adherence to be examined.The apparent absence of a long-term effect of a single exposure to the program on knowledge suggests that regular, ongoing education and counselling is required by families to reinforce aspects related to the child's current stage of development and disease status.
