ABSTRACT

Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common manifestation of CF that is associated with impaired quality of life and can be difficult to treat. CFTR modulator therapy has resulted in significant improvements in lower respiratory and nutritional outcomes for people with CF however their impact on chronic rhinosinusitis has received less attention. We review the literature in relation to chronic rhinosinusitis in CF and examine the impact of CFTR modulator therapy on symptoms, imaging, endoscopic appearances, and olfactory outcomes in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. While an overall improvement in symptoms, imaging and endoscopic appearances is seen in response to treatment, limited impact is documented on olfaction. Outcome measures employed were heterogenous, limiting comparison of findings. There is a need for well powered prospective real-world studies with standardised outcome measures.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Pregnancy in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with an increased risk of congenital malformations, obstetric complications and neonatal morbidity. This study aims to investigate maternal, perinatal and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies in women with onset of T1DM less than 18 years of age. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study extracted data regarding prenatal, intrapartum and postnatal outcomes of pregnancies in women with onset of T1DM<18 years identified from the diabetes in pregnancy register at University Maternity Hospital Limerick, treated from July 1, 2007 to July 1, 2017. RESULTS: Seventeen women with onset of T1DM <18 years gave birth to 23 live infants during the period studied. 73.9% of pregnancies were unplanned. Only 21.7% of pregnancies took preconceptual folic acid. 60.9% of infants required treatment for hypoglycemia. CONCLUSION: The high prevalence of unplanned pregnancy and poor uptake of prepregnancy care must be improved on in order to improve outcomes for this high-risk group.
