Estudio del gasto energético en adultos con fibrosis quística: concordancia entre la calorimetría indirecta y diversas fórmulas estimativas

The WHO and Harris-Benedict prediction equations underestimate resting energy expenditure in adults with cystic fibrosis. There is poor agreement between the values for resting energy expenditure determined by indirect calorimetry and those estimated with prediction equations. Underestimation was greater in patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and patients who were homozygous for ΔF508.
