To improve survival, it is essential to understand the development, progression and treatment of CF lung disease throughout early childhood.\n\nTherefore the overall objective is to prospectively assess the clinical utility of novel and non-invasive measuring methods, namely Multiple Breath Washout and functional lung MRI in the longitudinal clinical surveillance of patients with CF and compare the results to those of healthy controls.', 'detailedDescription': 'Background and project rationale:\n\nCystic fibrosis (CF), the most common lethal inherited disease in Caucasian populations, affects approximately 1:2500 live births. It is a multisystem disorder with respiratory morbidity and mortality being the leading cause of death. Despite improved survival in successive birth cohorts, the current median survival age of patients with CF is about 40 years. To improve survival, it is essential to understand the development, progression and treatment of CF lung disease throughout early childhood. Therefore tracking of lung function throughout childhood may provide important insights into the development and progression of CF lung disease. Spirometry, the standard lung function test for decades, is sensitive only for airflow limitation arising in large airways and insensitive for assessment of small or peripheral airway involvement, whereby the CF lung disease emerges in the small airways. Two promising techniques to assess small airway function in young children include the multiple breath washout (MBW) lung function test and functional Matrix-Pencil magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI).\n\nProject Objectives and Design:\n\nThe overall objective of this project is to prospectively assess the clinical utility of MBW and MP-MRI in the longitudinal clinical surveillance of patients with CF. Therefore this study: i) Examines differences in MBW and MP-MRI outcomes between patients with CF and healthy controls. ii) Assesses the short term (over 1h) repeatability of MBW and MP-MRI outcomes in patients with CF and healthy controls. iii) Assesses whether MBW and MP-MRI outcomes are associated with clinical lung disease in patients with CF. iv) Determines whether changes in MBW and MP-MRI outcomes are associated with progression of lung disease in patients with CF. v) Compares the breath-by-breath regional and temporal changes in functional MRI signal with breath-by-breath changes in MBW phase outcomes in patients with CF and healthy controls.\n\nMethods:\n\nData of MBW, MP-MRI, morphological MRI, Spirometry and body plethysmography, clinical respiratory symptoms and microbiology will be collected during this study.\n\nRecruitment and participation:\n\nChildren and adults with CF will be recruited from the outpatient and inpatient clinics at the Inselspital in Bern.
