About this study

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.

Read the 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).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 1-minute sit to stand testDiagnostic test

    Also called 3-minute step test, Quality of life, pulmonary function test

    Childrens will complete 1-minute sit to stand test and 3 minute step test and quality of life questionnaire.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 1 minute sit to stand test (STS) repetitions

    number of STS completed at hospital admissions, hospital discharge and outpatient time

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

  2. 3 minute step test

    number of completed step at hospital admissions, hospital discharge and outpatient time

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

  3. pulmonary functions

    pulmonary functions assessment via spirometry

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

  4. Quality of life assesment

    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.

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Maximal heart rate

    maximal heart rate during 3-minute step test

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

  2. Heart rate

    difference pre and post test heart beat number

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

  3. oxygen saturation

    difference pre and post test percentage of oxygen saturation

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

  4. dyspnea

    difference pre and post test breathlessness with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating worse outcome.

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

  5. quadriceps fatigue

    difference pre and post test quadriceps fatigue with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating worse outcome.

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

  6. fatigue

    difference pre and post test fatigue with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating worse outcome.

    Measured: November 2019- January 2021

  7. hospitalization frequency

    number of hospitalization per year

    Measured: 1 year

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kübra Kılıç, PhD Student (+903123051576, fztktas@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1 minute sit to stand test (STS) repetitions (time frame: November 2019- January 2021). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
