ObjectiveIn England, the National Health Service commissioned a National Management Service for children with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). The aims of this study were to describe the health of children seen in this Service and compare lung function to children with cystic fibrosis (CF).DesignMulti-centre service evaluation of the English National Management PCD Service.SettingFour nationally commissioned PCD centres in England.Patients333 children with PCD reviewed in the Service in 2015; lung function data were also compared with 2970 children with CF.ResultsMedian age at diagnosis for PCD was 2.6 years, significantly lower in children with situs inversus (1.0 vs 6.0 years, p<0.001). Compared with national data from the CF Registry, mean (SD) %predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) was 76.8% in PCD (n=240) and 85.0% in CF, and FEV1 was lower in children with PCD up to the age of 15 years. Approximately half of children had some hearing impairment, with 26% requiring hearing aids. Children with a lower body mass index (BMI) had lower FEV1 (p<0.001). One-third of children had positive respiratory cultures at review, 54% of these grew Haemophilus influenzae.ConclusionsWe provide evidence that children with PCD in England have worse lung function than those with CF. Nutritional status should be considered in PCD management, as those with a lower BMI have significantly lower FEV1. Hearing impairment is common but seems to improve with age. Well-designed and powered randomised controlled trials on management of PCD are needed to inform best clinical practice.

Chronic respiratory disease can affect growth and nutrition, which can influence lung function. We investigated height, body mass index (BMI), and lung function in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).In this study, based on the international PCD (iPCD) Cohort, we calculated z-scores for height and BMI using World Health Organization (WHO) and national growth references, and assessed associations with age, sex, country, diagnostic certainty, age at diagnosis, organ laterality and lung function in multilevel regression models that accounted for repeated measurements.We analysed 6402 measurements from 1609 iPCD Cohort patients. Height was reduced compared to WHO (z-score −0.12, 95% CI −0.17 to −0.06) and national references (z-score −0.27, 95% CI −0.33 to −0.21) in male and female patients in all age groups, with variation between countries. Height and BMI were higher in patients diagnosed earlier in life (p=0.026 and p<0.001, respectively) and closely associated with forced expiratory volume in 1 s and forced vital capacity z-scores (p<0.001).Our study indicates that both growth and nutrition are affected adversely in PCD patients from early life and are both strongly associated with lung function. If supported by longitudinal studies, these findings suggest that early diagnosis with multidisciplinary management and nutritional advice could improve growth and delay disease progression and lung function impairment in PCD.

BackgroundLung clearance index (LCI) is a promising lung function outcome in individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). The impact of events clinically important for individuals with PCD, such as pulmonary exacerbations, on LCI is unknown.MethodsWe conducted an international, multicentre, observational cohort study to assess the association of LCI and risk of pulmonary exacerbation, specific changes in LCI during pulmonary exacerbation and global variability of LCI across four visits every 4 months. Ninety individuals with PCD, aged 3–41 years, underwent nitrogen multiple-breath washout (MBW) and spirometry measurements. The association of LCI and pulmonary exacerbations was assessed by Cox proportional hazards and random-effects regression models.ResultsWe obtained 430 MBW and 427 spirometry measurements. In total, 379 person-years at risk contributed to the analysis. Per one unit increase (deterioration) in LCI, the risk of future pulmonary exacerbation increased by 13%: HR (95% CI), 1.13 (1.04 to 1.23). If LCI changed from a range of values considered normal to abnormal, the risk of future pulmonary exacerbations increased by 87%: 1.87 (1.08 to 3.23). During pulmonary exacerbations, LCI increased by 1.22 units (14.5%). After pulmonary exacerbations, LCI tended to decline. Estimates of variability in LCI suggested lower variation within individuals compared with variation between individuals. Findings were comparable for forced expiratory volume in 1 s.ConclusionOn a visit-to-visit basis, LCI measurement may add to the prediction of pulmonary exacerbations, the assessment of lung function decline and the potential lung function response to treatment of pulmonary exacerbations.
