Background: Frailty has been reported as a predictor of adverse outcomes after various surgical procedures. There are several models for defining frailty, including 5-factor modified frailty index, clinical frailty scale, and psoas muscle index. Low psoas muscle index has been associated with higher postoperative mortality and complications after various surgical procedures.

Malnutrition in CF now includes an increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity, particularly in those receiving CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy (CFTRm). We aimed to characterise peripheral muscle function and body composition in pwCF on Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) CFTRm, compared to healthy controls.

Traditional maneuvers such as the Toynbee and Valsalva techniques provide temporary relief by forcefully opening the Eustachian tube but carry risks of injury and complications and does not work for sinusitis.
