Influence of pancreatic status, CFTR mutations, Staphylococcus aureus and/or Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection/colonization on lung function in cystic fibrosis during a  2-year follow-up period.

CONCLUSION: In CF, deterioration of lung function as evaluated by spirometry was continuous and varied according to sex, pancreatic insufficiency, and severe CFTR mutations. No differences were observed between groups in terms of predominant type of bacteria, but the reduction of spirometry parameters was significant in the predominantly S. aureus and concomitant infection groups.
