Energy expenditure of patients with cystic fibrosis

Resting energy expenditure was measured by open-circuit indirect calorimetry in 71 patients, aged 8.9 to 35.5 years, with cystic fibrosis who had no recent history of acute lung infection. Pulmonary function and nutritional status were studied simultaneously. In most patients, resting energy expendi...

Zusammenfassung:Resting energy expenditure was measured by open-circuit indirect calorimetry in 71 patients, aged 8.9 to 35.5 years, with cystic fibrosis who had no recent history of acute lung infection. Pulmonary function and nutritional status were studied simultaneously. In most patients, resting energy expenditure was above normal (range 95% to 153% of predicted values for age, sex, and weight as derived from the Harris Benedict equations), and was negatively correlated with pulmonary function (P
