Abstract

Objectives: In health, nitric oxide (NO) can be measured in high concentrations in the upper respiratory tract. It has been shown that nasal NO (nNO) is significantly lower in patients with sinonasal inflammation such as patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). In patients with CF treated with elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI), clinical improvement of sinonasal inflammatory symptoms could be observed. We therefore hypothesised that nNO would increase in patients undergoing ETI treatment between a baseline measurement and after several months of treatment. Furthermore we are interested to see if nNO correlates with other parameters such as inflammatory markers, lung function and sweat chloride.
