OBJECTIVES: To describe the demography and spectrum of pancreatic, hepatobiliary, and gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) from the Indian subcontinent.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, relevant information from the database of all children with CF below 18 years of age was collected and analyzed.
RESULTS: Among the total 109 children, 58 (53%) were from the southern states of India. The most common manifestation was pancreatic insufficiency (PI) in 85 (83%) children. Those with PI presented at an earlier age (1.8 vs. 6.9 years). Cirrhosis with portal hypertension was documented in only one patient and meconium ileus in three (2.8%). There was significant malnutrition in the PI cohort with a mean weight-for-age Z-score of - 3.17 ± 1.79 at diagnosis. Twenty-one (19%) patients had died during the follow-up and 18 (90%) of them had PI. There was no difference in the prevalence of selected pulmonary manifestations in the PI and pancreatic sufficient (PS) groups. Among children with PI, 78 were screened for ΔF508 mutation, 16 (21%) were homozygous, and 17 (22%) were heterozygous. In the PS group, only 2 (14%) were heterozygous for ΔF508 mutation. The median duration of follow-up of the patients was 1.8 (1.5) years.
CONCLUSION: PI is the most common GI manifestation of children with CF and is associated with severe malnutrition and poor outcome. Timely identification and management of the comorbidities involving the digestive system are essential for better growth and quality of life in these children.
