Increased physical activity post-exacerbation is associated with decreased systemic inflammation in cystic fibrosis – An observational study

Background and Objective: We assessed whether measured physical activity in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) following in-hospital treatment for an acute exacerbation was impacted by levels of systemic and airway inflammation, and whether physical activity post-discharge predicted for time to next pulmonary exacerbation.Methods: Adults with CF were included following hospitalization for a pulmonary exacerbation, and were followed for 12 months....
