We investigated the prevalence of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) and its association with various demographic and clinical conditions in a Dutch child and adult cystic fibrosis (CF) population.Patients were classified as having either normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or CFRD. Associations with the following parameters were studied: age, gender, BMI, mutations, pulmonary function, infection status, and hospitalization.In our patient population the prevalence of IGT and CFRD was 16% and 31% respectively. After excluding pancreatic sufficient patients, the prevalence of CFRD was 40% and in patients over 40 years 52%. Compared with patients with NGT, CFRD patients were older, had more in-hospital days and had worse pulmonary function. Women developed CFRD at a significantly younger age than men.CFRD is a frequently occurring co-morbidity in patients with CF. The prevalence of CFRD is increasing in ageing CF populations and deserves rising attention in CF management.
