This study aimed to describe the clinical course of COVID-19 in cystic fibrosis patients and identify risk factors for severe COVID-19. The study found that certain clinical features were associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 hospitalization.
Purpose To describe the clinical course of COVID-19 in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and to identify risk factors for severe COVID-19. Methods We conducted a prospective study within the Italian CF Society. CF centers collected baseline and follow-up data of patients with virologically confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between March 2020 and June 2021. Odds ratios (ORs) for severe SARS-CoV-2 (as defined by hospital admission) were estimated by logistic regression models. Results The study included 236 patients with positive molecular test for SARS-CoV-2. Six patients died, 43 patients were admitted to hospital, 4 admitted to intensive care unit. Pancreatic insufficiency was associated with increased risk of severe COVID-19 (OR 4.04, 95% CI 1.52; 10.8). After adjusting for age and pancreatic insufficiency, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVp) < 40% (OR 4.54, 95% CI 1.56; 13.2), oxygen therapy (OR 12.3, 95% CI 2.91-51.7), underweight (OR 2.92, 95% CI 1.12; 7.57), organ transplantation (OR 7.31, 95% CI 2.59; 20.7), diabetes (OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.23; 5.80) and liver disease (OR 3.67, 95% CI 1.77; 7.59) were associated with increased risk of severe COVID-19, while use of dornase alfa was associated with a reduced risk (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.13-0.88). No significant changes were observed in FEVp from baseline to a median follow-up of 2 months (median difference: 0, interquartile range: - 4; 5, P = 0.62). Conclusion Clinical features indicative of severe form of CF are associated with increased risk of COVID-19 hospitalization. SARS-CoV-2 infected patients do not experience a deterioration of respiratory function.
