Öğe CFTR mutations unidentified in CFTR2 database and their phenotypic characteristics: Data from cystic fibrosis registry of Turkey(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2020) Cinel, Guzin; Dogru, Deniz; Cakir, Erkan; Eyuboglu, Tugba Sismanlar; Cobanoglu, Nazan; Pekcan, Sevgi; Yalcin, Ebru[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Clinical characteristics of patients requiring lung transplantation referral in national cystic fibrosis registry data(Turkish J Pediatrics, 2023) Onay, Zeynep Reyhan; Eyuboglu, Tugba Sismanlar; Aslan, Ayse Tana; Gursoy, Tugba Ramasli; Yalcin, Ebru; Kiper, Nural; Emiralioglu, NagehanBackground. We aimed to determine the number of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients recorded in the Cystic Fibrosis Registry of Turkiye (CFRT) who were in need of lung transplantation (LT) referral and examine clinical differences between patients who were LT candidates due to rapid forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) decline and LT candidates without rapid FEV1 decline in the last year to identify a preventable cause in patients with such rapid FEV1 decline. Methods. All CF patients recorded in the CFRT in 2018 were evaluated in terms of LT. Patients were divided into those with FEV1 below 50% and in need of LT due to a decrease of 20% or more in the previous year (Group 1) and those who did not have FEV1 decline of more than 20% in the previous year but had other indications for LT (Group 2). Demographic and clinical features were compared between the two groups. Results. Of 1488 patients registered in CFRT, 58 had a need for LT. Twenty patients were included in Group 1 and others in Group 2. Our findings did not reveal any significant variations in treatment, chronic infection status, or complications between the two groups. The average weight z-score was significantly higher in Group 1. Positive correlations were detected between weight z-score and FEV1 in 2017 in Group 1 and between FEV1 values in 2017 and 2018 in Group 2. Conclusions. There appears to be a relationship between the nutritional status and weight z-scores of CF patients and pulmonary function, which may indirectly affect the need for lung transplantation referral.Öğe Clinical findings of patients with cystic fibrosis according to newborn screening results(Wiley, 2022) Gursoy, Tugba Ramasli; Aslan, Ayse Tana; Asfuroglu, Pelin; Eyuboglu, Tugba Sismanlar; Cakir, Erkan; Cobanoglu, Nazan; Pekcan, SevgiBackground Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal recessive genetic disease caused by loss of function associated with mutations in the CF trans-membrane conductance regulator. It is highly prevalent (approximately 1 in 3,500) in Caucasians. The aim of this study was to compare demographic and clinical features, diagnostic tests, treatments, and complications of patients with CF whose newborn screening (NBS) with twice-repeated immune reactive trypsinogen testing was positive, normal, and not performed. Methods In this study, 359 of all 1,488 CF patients recorded in the CF Registry of Turkey in 2018, who had been born through the process of NBS, were evaluated. Demographic and clinical features were compared in patients diagnosed with positive NBS (Group 1), normal (Group 2), or without NBS (Group 3). Results In Group 1, there were 299 patients, in Group 2, there were 40 patients, and in Group 3, there were 20 patients. Among all patients, the median age at diagnosis was 0.17 years. The median age at diagnosis was higher in Groups 2 and 3 than in Group 1 (P = 0.001). Fecal elastase results were higher in Group 2 (P = 0.033). The weight z-score was lower and chronic Staphylococcus aureus infection was more common in Group 3 (P = 0.017, P = 0.004, respectively). Conclusions Frequency of growth retardation and chronic S. aureus infection can be reduced with an early diagnosis using NBS. In the presence of clinical suspicion in patients with normal NBS, further analyses such as genetic testing should be performed, especially to prevent missing patients with severe mutations.Öğe Cystic Fibrosis Patients Eligible for Modulator Drugs: Data from Cystic Fibrosis Registry of Turkey(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2019) Cobanoglu, Fatma Nazan; Ersoz, Deniz Dogru; Cakir, Erkan; Eyuboglu, Tugba Sismanlar; Pekcan, Sevgi; Cinel, Guzin; Yalcin, Ebru[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Geographical barriers to timely diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and anxiety level of parents during newborn screening in Turkey(Wiley, 2021) Gokdemir, Yasemin; Eyuboglu, Tugba Sismanlar; Emiralioglu, Nagehan; Er, Berrin; Sen, Velat; Pekcan, Sevgi; Ergenekon, Almala PinarBackground Despite the availability of cystic fibrosis (CF) screening countrywide, diagnostic delay is still a crucial issue. The objectives of this study were to explore the stages of the NBS process, determine the risk factors associated with diagnostic delay and evaluate parent anxiety and experience throughout the process. Methods This is a multicenter cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was completed by parents of newborns diagnosed with CF via NBS in 17 centers. Socio-demographic characteristics, parent knowledge and experiences related to NBS, sweat test availability in the region of residence, and time to the definitive CF diagnosis were assessed through this questionnaire. Parents' anxiety levels were evaluated through the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scales 1 and 2. Delayed diagnosis (DD) was defined as a definite CF diagnosis beyond the 8th week of life. Predictors of delayed CF diagnosis were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results A total of 220 CF patients diagnosed via NBS were enrolled; 82 (37.3%) babies had DD. Multivariable analysis indicated that residence in the Southeast Anatolia region of Turkey (OR = 10.79, 95% CI = 2.37-49.2) was associated with a higher incidence of DD compared with other regions in Turkey. Of the total, 216 (98.1%) of the caregivers regarded the NBS program as useful and 180 (82%) reported high anxiety levels. Conclusion The organization of newborn screening should take into account regional and socio-cultural characteristics to improve the early diagnosis of CF and also reduce the anxiety level of parents.Öğe Patients eligible for modulator drugs: Data from cystic fibrosis registry of Turkey(Wiley, 2020) Cobanoglu, Nazan; Ozcelik, Ugur; Cakir, Erkan; Eyuboglu, Tugba Sismanlar; Pekcan, Sevgi; Cinel, Guzin; Yalcin, EbruBackground A better understanding of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator biology has led to the development of modulator drugs such as ivacaftor, lumacaftor-ivacaftor, tezacaftor-ivacaftor, and elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor. This cross-sectional study evaluated cystic fibrosis (CF) patients eligible for modulator drugs. Methods Data for age and genetic mutations from the Cystic Fibrosis Registry of Turkey collected in 2018 were used to find out the number of patients who are eligible for modulator therapy. Results Of registered 1488 CF patients, genetic analysis was done for 1351. The numbers and percentages of patients and names of the drugs, that the patients are eligible for, are as follows: 122 (9.03%) for ivacaftor, 156 (11.54%) for lumacaftor-ivacaftor, 163 (11.23%) for tezacaftor-ivacaftor, and 57 (4.21%) for elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor. Among 1351 genotyped patients total of 313 (23.16%) patients are eligible for currently licensed modulator therapies (55 patients were shared by ivacaftor and tezacaftor-ivacaftor, 108 patients were shared by lumacaftor-ivacaftor and tezacaftor-ivacaftor, and 22 patients were shared by tezacaftor-ivacaftor and elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor groups). Conclusions The present study shows that approximately one-fourth of the registered CF patients in Turkey are eligible for modulator drugs. As, frequent mutations that CF patients have in Turkey are different from North American and European CF patients, developing modulator drugs effective for those mutations is necessary. Furthermore, as modulator drugs are very expensive currently, financial support of the government in developing countries like Turkey is noteworthy.Öğe The success of the Cystic Fibrosis Registry of Turkey for improvement of patient care(Wiley, 2022) Asfuroglu, Pelin; Eyuboglu, Tugba Sismanlar; Aslan, Ayse Tana; Gursoy, Tugba Ramasli; Emiralioglu, Nagehan; Yalcin, Ebru; Kiper, NuralBackground Cystic fibrosis (CF) registries play an essential role in improving disease outcomes of people with CF. This study aimed to evaluate the association of newly established CF registry system in Turkey on follow-up, clinical, growth, treatment, and complications of people with this disease. Methods Age at diagnosis, current age, sex, z-scores of weight, height and body mass index (BMI), neonatal screening results, pulmonary function tests, history of meconium ileus, medications, presence of microorganisms, and follow-up were evaluated and compared to data of people with CF represented in both 2017 and 2019 registry data. Results There were 1170 people with CF in 2017 and 1637 in 2019 CF registry. Eight hundred and fourteen people were registered in both 2017 and 2019 of whom z-scores of heights and BMI were significantly higher in 2019 (p = 0.002, p =0.039, respectively). Inhaled hypertonic saline, bronchodilator, and azithromycin usages were significantly higher in 2019 (p =0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.003, respectively). The percent predicted of forced expiratory volume in 1 sec and forced vital capacity were similar in 2017 and 2019 (88% and 89.5%, p = 0.248 and 84.5% and 87%, p =0.332, respectively). Liver diseases and osteoporosis were significantly higher, and pseudo-Bartter syndrome (PBS) was significantly lower in 2019 (p = 0.011, p = 0.001, p = 0.001, respectively). Conclusions The z-scores of height and BMI were higher, the use of medications that protect and improve lung functions was higher and incidence of PBS was lower in 2019. It was predicted that registry system increased the care of people with CF regarding their follow-up. The widespread use of national CF registry system across the country may be beneficial for the follow-up of people with CF.
