Analysis of oxygen uptake efficiency parameters in young people with cystic fibrosis

This study characterised oxygen uptake efficiency (OUE) in children with mild-to-moderate cystic fibrosis (CF). Specifically, it investigated (1) the utility of OUE parameters as potential submaximal surrogates of peak oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]), and (2) the relationship between OUE and disease severity.Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) data were collated from 72 children [36 CF, 36 age- and sex-matched controls (CON)], with OUE...
