Accuracy of Nasal Nitric Oxide Measurement as a Diagnostic Test for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia. A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(ATS, 2017-07) Shapiro, Adam J.; Josephson, Maureen; Rosenfeld, Margaret; Yilmaz, Ozge; Davis, Stephanie D.; Polineni, Deepika; Guadagno, Elena; Leigh, Margaret W.; Lavergne, Valery; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Rationale: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare disorder causing chronic otosinopulmonary disease, generally diagnosed through evaluation of respiratory ciliary ultrastructure and/or genetic testing. Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) measurement is used as a PCD screening test because patients with PCD have low nNO levels, but its value as a diagnostic test remains unknown. Objectives: To perform a systematic review to assess the utility of nNO measurement (index test) as a diagnostic tool compared with the reference standard of electron microscopy (EM) evaluation of ciliary defects and/or detection of biallelic mutations in PCD genes. Data Sources: Ten databases were searched for reference sources from database inception through July 29, 2016. Data Extraction: Study inclusion was limited to publications with rigorous nNO index testing, reference standard diagnostic testing with EM and/or genetics, and calculable diagnostic accuracy information for cooperative patients (generally >5 yr old) with high suspicion of PCD. Synthesis: Meta-analysis provided a summary estimate for sensitivity and specificity and a hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curve. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool was used to assess study quality, and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation was used to assess the certainty of evidence. In 12 study populations (1,344 patients comprising 514 with PCD and 830 without PCD), using a reference standard of EM alone or EM and/or genetic testing, summary sensitivity was 97.6% (92.7–99.2) and specificity was 96.0% (87.9–98.7), with a positive likelihood ratio of 24.3 (7.6–76.9), a negative likelihood ratio of 0.03 (0.01–0.08), and a diagnostic odds ratio of 956.8 (141.2–6481.5) for nNO measurements. After studies using EM alone as the reference standard were excluded, the seven studies using an extended reference standard of EM and/or genetic testing showed a summary sensitivity of nNO measurements of 96.3% (88.7–98.9) and specificity of 96.4% (85.1–99.2), with a positive likelihood ratio of 26.5 (5.9–119.1), a negative likelihood ratio of 0.04 (0.01–0.12), and a diagnostic odds ratio of 699.3 (67.4–7256.0). Certainty of the evidence was graded as moderate. Conclusions: nNO is a sensitive and specific test for PCD in cooperative patients (generally >5 yr old) with high clinical suspicion for this disease. With a moderate level of evidence, this meta-analysis confirms that nNO testing using velum closure maneuvers has diagnostic accuracy similar to EM and/or genetic testing for PCD when cystic fibrosis is ruled out. Thus, low nNO values accompanied by an appropriate clinical phenotype could be used as a diagnostic PCD test, though EM and/or genetics will continue to provide confirmatory information.

Clinical Features and Associated Likelihood of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in Children and Adolescents
(American Thoracic Society, 2016-08) Leigh, Margaret W.; Ferkol, Thomas W.; Davis, Stephanie D.; Lee, Hye-Seung; Rosenfeld, Margaret; Dell, Sharon D.; Sagel, Scott D.; Milla, Carlos; Olivier, Kenneth N.; Sullivan, Kelli M.; Zariwala, Maimoona A.; Pittman, Jessica E.; Shapiro, Adam J.; Carson, Johnny L.; Krischer, Jeffrey; Hazucha, Milan J.; Knowles, Michael R.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Rationale: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a genetically heterogeneous, recessive disorder of motile cilia, is associated with distinct clinical features. Diagnostic tests, including ultrastructural analysis of cilia, nasal nitric oxide measurements, and molecular testing for mutations in PCD genes, have inherent limitations., Objectives: To define a statistically valid combination of systematically defined clinical features that strongly associates with PCD in children and adolescents., Methods: Investigators at seven North American sites in the Genetic Disorders of Mucociliary Clearance Consortium prospectively and systematically assessed individuals (aged 0–18 yr) referred due to high suspicion for PCD. The investigators defined specific clinical questions for the clinical report form based on expert opinion. Diagnostic testing was performed using standardized protocols and included nasal nitric oxide measurement, ciliary biopsy for ultrastructural analysis of cilia, and molecular genetic testing for PCD-associated genes. Final diagnoses were assigned as “definite PCD” (hallmark ultrastructural defects and/or two mutations in a PCD-associated gene), “probable/possible PCD” (no ultrastructural defect or genetic diagnosis, but compatible clinical features and nasal nitric oxide level in PCD range), and “other diagnosis or undefined.” Criteria were developed to define early childhood clinical features on the basis of responses to multiple specific queries. Each defined feature was tested by logistic regression. Sensitivity and specificity analyses were conducted to define the most robust set of clinical features associated with PCD., Measurements and Main Results: From 534 participants 18 years of age and younger, 205 were identified as having “definite PCD” (including 164 with two mutations in a PCD-associated gene), 187 were categorized as “other diagnosis or undefined,” and 142 were defined as having “probable/possible PCD.” Participants with “definite PCD” were compared with the “other diagnosis or undefined” group. Four criteria-defined clinical features were statistically predictive of PCD: laterality defect; unexplained neonatal respiratory distress; early-onset, year-round nasal congestion; and early-onset, year-round wet cough (adjusted odds ratios of 7.7, 6.6, 3.4, and 3.1, respectively). The sensitivity and specificity based on the number of criteria-defined clinical features were four features, 0.21 and 0.99, respectively; three features, 0.50 and 0.96, respectively; and two features, 0.80 and 0.72, respectively., Conclusions: Systematically defined early clinical features could help identify children, including infants, likely to have PCD., Clinical trial registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00323167).
Diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis in Screened Populations
(Elsevier, 2017-02) Farrell, Philip M.; White, Terry B.; Howenstine, Michelle S.; Munck, Anne; Parad, Richard B.; Rosenfeld, Margaret; Sommerburg, Olaf; Accurso, Frank J.; Davies, Jane C.; Rock, Michael J.; Sanders, Don B.; Wilschanski, Michael; Sermet-Gaudelus, Isabelle; Blau, Hannah; Gartner, Silvia; McColley, Susanna A.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Objective Cystic fibrosis (CF) can be difficult to diagnose, even when newborn screening (NBS) tests yield positive results. This challenge is exacerbated by the multitude of NBS protocols, misunderstandings about screening vs diagnostic tests, and the lack of guidelines for presumptive diagnoses. There is also confusion regarding the designation of age at diagnosis. Study design To improve diagnosis and achieve standardization in definitions worldwide, the CF Foundation convened a committee of 32 experts with a mission to develop clear and actionable consensus guidelines on diagnosis of CF with an emphasis on screened populations, especially the newborn population. A comprehensive literature review was performed with emphasis on relevant articles published during the past decade. Results After reviewing the common screening protocols and outcome scenarios, 14 of 27 consensus statements were drafted that apply to screened populations. These were approved by 80% or more of the participants. Conclusions It is recommended that all diagnoses be established by demonstrating dysfunction of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel, initially with a sweat chloride test and, when needed, potentially with newer methods assessing membrane transport directly, such as intestinal current measurements. Even in babies with 2 CF-causing mutations detected via NBS, diagnosis must be confirmed by demonstrating CFTR dysfunction. The committee also recommends that the latest classifications identified in the Clinical and Functional Translation of CFTR project [http://www.cftr2.org/index.php] should be used to aid with CF diagnosis. Finally, to avoid delays in treatment, we provide guidelines for presumptive diagnoses and recommend how to determine the age of diagnosis.
Diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis: Consensus Guidelines from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
(Elsevier, 2017-02) Farrell, Philip M.; White, Terry B.; Ren, Clement L.; Hempstead, Sarah E.; Accurso, Frank; Derichs, Nico; Howenstine, Michelle; McColley, Susanna A.; Rock, Michael; Rosenfeld, Margaret; Sermet-Gaudelus, Isabelle; Southern, Kevin W.; Marshall, Bruce C.; Sosnay, Patrick R.; Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Objective Cystic fibrosis (CF), caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, continues to present diagnostic challenges. Newborn screening and an evolving understanding of CF genetics have prompted a reconsideration of the diagnosis criteria. Study design To improve diagnosis and achieve standardized definitions worldwide, the CF Foundation convened a committee of 32 experts in CF diagnosis from 9 countries to develop clear and actionable consensus guidelines on the diagnosis of CF and to clarify diagnostic criteria and terminology for other disorders associated with CFTR mutations. An a priori threshold of ≥80% affirmative votes was required for acceptance of each recommendation statement. Results After reviewing relevant literature, the committee convened to review evidence and cases. Following the conference, consensus statements were developed by an executive subcommittee. The entire consensus committee voted and approved 27 of 28 statements, 7 of which needed revisions and a second round of voting. Conclusions It is recommended that diagnoses associated with CFTR mutations in all individuals, from newborn to adult, be established by evaluation of CFTR function with a sweat chloride test. The latest mutation classifications annotated in the Clinical and Functional Translation of CFTR project (http://www.cftr2.org/index.php) should be used to aid in diagnosis. Newborns with a high immunoreactive trypsinogen level and inconclusive CFTR functional and genetic testing may be designated CFTR-related metabolic syndrome or CF screen positive, inconclusive diagnosis; these terms are now merged and equivalent, and CFTR-related metabolic syndrome/CF screen positive, inconclusive diagnosis may be used. International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision codes for use in diagnoses associated with CFTR mutations are included.
Infant lung function tests as endpoints in the ISIS multicenter clinical trial in cystic fibrosis
(Elsevier, 2016-05) Davis, Stephanie D.; Ratjen, Felix; Brumback, Lyndia C.; Johnson, Robin C.; Filbrun, Amy G.; Kerby, Gwendolyn S.; Panitch, Howard B.; Donaldson, Scott H.; Rosenfeld, Margaret; Department of Pediatrics, IU School of Medicine
BACKGROUND: The Infant Study of Inhaled Saline (ISIS) in CF was the first multicenter clinical trial to utilize infant pulmonary function tests (iPFTs) as an endpoint. METHODS: Secondary analysis of ISIS data was conducted in order to assess feasibility of iPFT measures and their associations with respiratory symptoms. Standard deviations were calculated to aid in power calculations for future clinical trials. RESULTS: Seventy-three participants enrolled, 70 returned for the final visit; 62 (89%) and 45 (64%) had acceptable paired functional residual capacity (FRC) and raised volume measurements, respectively. Mean baseline FEV0.5, FEF75 and FRC z-scores were 0.3 (SD: 1.2), -0.2 (SD: 2.0), and 1.8 (SD: 2.0). CONCLUSIONS: iPFTs are not appropriate primary endpoints for multicenter clinical trials due to challenges of obtaining acceptable data and near-normal average raised volume measurements. Raised volume measures have potential to serve as secondary endpoints in future clinical CF trials.
Multiple-Breath Washout as a Lung Function Test in Cystic Fibrosis: A Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Workshop Report
(2015-06) Subbarao, Padmaja; Milla, Carlos; Aurora, Paul; Davies, Jane C.; Davis, Stephanie D.; Hall, Graham L.; Heltshe, Sonya; Latzin, Philipp; Lindblad, Anders; Pittman, Jessica E.; Robinson, Paul D.; Rosenfeld, Margaret; Singer, Florian; Starner, Tim D.; Ratjen, Felix; Morgan, Wayne; Department of Pediatrics, IU School of Medicine
The lung clearance index (LCI) is a lung function parameter derived from the multiple-breath washout (MBW) test. Although first developed 60 years ago, the technique was not widely used for many years. Recent technological advances in equipment design have produced gains in popularity for this test among cystic fibrosis (CF) researchers and clinicians, particularly for testing preschool-aged children. LCI has been shown to be feasible and sensitive to early CF lung disease in patients of all ages from infancy to adulthood. A workshop was convened in January 2014 by the North American Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to determine the readiness of the LCI for use in multicenter clinical trials as well as clinical care. The workshop concluded that the MBW text is a valuable potential outcome measure for CF clinical trials in preschool-aged patients and in older patients with FEV1 in the normal range. However, gaps in knowledge about the choice of device, gas, and standardization across systems are key issues precluding its use as a clinical trial end point in infants. Based on the current evidence, there are insufficient data to support the use of LCI or MBW parameters in the routine clinical management of patients with CF.
Oral antibiotic prescribing patterns for treatment of pulmonary exacerbations in two large pediatric CF centers
(Wiley, 2020-09-24) Hoppe, Jordana E.; Hinds, Daniel M.; Colborg, Adrianne; Wagner, Brandie D.; Morgan, Wayne J.; Rosenfeld, Margaret; Zemanick, Edith T.; Sanders, Don B.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Introduction: Oral antibiotics are frequently prescribed for outpatient pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study aimed to characterize oral antibiotic use for PEx and treatment outcomes at two large US CF centers. Methods: Retrospective, descriptive study of oral antibiotic prescribing practices among children with CF ages 6–17 years over 1 year. The care setting for antibiotic initiation (clinic or phone encounter) was determined and outcomes were compared. Results: A total of 763 oral antibiotic courses were prescribed to 312 patients aged 6–17 years (77% of 403 eligible patients) with a median of two courses per year (range: 1–10). Fifty‐eight percent of prescriptions were provided over the phone. Penicillin was the most commonly prescribed antibiotic class (36% of prescriptions) but differences in antibiotic class prescriptions were noted between the two centers. Hospitalizations occurred within 3 months following 19% of oral antibiotic courses. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) recovered to within 90% of prior baseline within 6 months in 87% of encounters; the mean (SD) % recovery was 99.6% (12.1%) of baseline. Outcomes did not differ between phone and clinic prescriptions. Conclusions: Phone prescriptions, commonly excluded in studies of PEx, made up more than half of all oral antibiotic courses. Heterogeneity in prescribing patterns was observed between the two centers. Most patients had improvement in FEV1 returning to near their prior baseline, but hospitalizations occurred in one‐fifth following oral antibiotic treatment. Efforts to optimize PEx treatment must consider care that occurs over the phone; this is particularly important as the use of telemedicine increases.
Predictors of pulmonary exacerbation treatment in cystic fibrosis
(Elsevier, 2020-05) Sanders, Don B.; Ostrenga, Joshua S.; Rosenfeld, Margaret; Fink, Aliza K.; Schechter, Michael S.; Sawicki, Gregory S.; Flume, Patrick A.; Morgan, Wayne J.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Background: Most studies of pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in cystic fibrosis (CF) focus on intravenous (IV)-treated PEx, though most PEx are treated with oral antibiotics. Our objectives were to describe predictors of antibiotic choice and outcomes for PEx initially identified in clinic. Methods: For each patient in the U.S. CF Foundation Patient Registry, we selected the first PEx recorded at a clinic visit in 2013-14 following a clinic visit without a PEx. We used multivariable logistic regression to determine associations between clinical characteristics and antibiotic treatment choice. We determined outcomes in the 90 days after the first PEx. Results: Among 14,265 patients with a PEx initially identified in clinic, 21.4% received no antibiotics, 61.5% received new oral and/or inhaled antibiotics, and 17.0% had IV antibiotics within 14 days. Compared to IV antibiotics, patients more likely to receive new oral and/or inhaled antibiotics: were male, <13 years old, had BMI >10th percentile or 18.5 kg/m2, >90 days between clinic visits, FEV1 > 70% predicted at the PEx, no prior-year IV-treated PEx, FEV1 decline <10% predicted, and private insurance. Following the PEx, 30.3% of patients had no clinical encounters within 90 days. Treatment with IV antibiotics within 90 days occurred for 23.7% treated without antibiotics, 22.8% of new oral and/or inhaled antibiotics, and 27.1% of IV antibiotics. Conclusion: Most PEx identified in clinic are treated with new oral and/or inhaled antibiotics. Markers of disease severity are associated with antibiotic treatment choice. Many patients had no follow-up evaluation within 90 days of treatment.
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia: Longitudinal Study of Lung Disease by Ultrastructure Defect and Genotype
(American Thoracic Society, 2019-01-15) Davis, Stephanie D.; Rosenfeld, Margaret; Lee, Hye-Seung; Ferkol, Thomas W.; Sagel, Scott D.; Dell, Sharon D.; Milla, Carlos; Pittman, Jessica E.; Shapiro, Adam J.; Sullivan, Kelli M.; Nykamp, Keith R.; Krischer, Jeffrey P.; Zariwala, Maimoona A.; Knowles, Michael R.; Leigh, Margaret W.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
RATIONALE: In primary ciliary dyskinesia, factors leading to disease heterogeneity are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: To describe early lung disease progression in primary ciliary dyskinesia and identify associations between ultrastructural defects and genotypes with clinical phenotype. METHODS: This was a prospective, longitudinal (5 yr), multicenter, observational study. Inclusion criteria were less than 19 years at enrollment and greater than or equal to two annual study visits. Linear mixed effects models including random slope and random intercept were used to evaluate longitudinal associations between the ciliary defect group (or genotype group) and clinical features (percent predicted FEV1 and weight and height z-scores). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: A total of 137 participants completed 732 visits. The group with absent inner dynein arm, central apparatus defects, and microtubular disorganization (IDA/CA/MTD) (n = 41) were significantly younger at diagnosis and in mixed effects models had significantly lower percent predicted FEV1 and weight and height z-scores than the isolated outer dynein arm defect (n = 55) group. Participants with CCDC39 or CCDC40 mutations (n = 34) had lower percent predicted FEV1 and weight and height z-scores than those with DNAH5 mutations (n = 36). For the entire cohort, percent predicted FEV1 decline was heterogeneous with a mean (SE) decline of 0.57 (0.25) percent predicted/yr. Rate of decline was different from zero only in the IDA/MTD/CA group (mean [SE], -1.11 [0.48] percent predicted/yr; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Participants with IDA/MTD/CA defects, which included individuals with CCDC39 or CCDC40 mutations, had worse lung function and growth indices compared with those with outer dynein arm defects and DNAH5 mutations, respectively. The only group with a significant lung function decline over time were participants with IDA/MTD/CA defects.
