Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the feasibility of a clinical trial evaluating two outpatient treatments for mild pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF).
- Participants aged 6-18 were randomly assigned to receive either immediate oral antibiotics or tailored therapy, which emphasized increased airway clearance and only added antibiotics under specific conditions.
- Results showed that 70% of those in the tailored therapy group successfully avoided antibiotics, indicating that this approach may help reduce antibiotic use in managing mild PEx and that conducting such a trial is possible.
