BACKGROUND: COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for all, particularly for high-risk groups including people with cystic fibrosis (PWCF).
AIM: This study aims to examine impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of PWCF in relation to hospital visits, use of telemedicine, employment, and mental well-being.
METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was developed by the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Ireland research team and uploaded on SmartSurvey UK. The survey was advertised by CF Ireland via their website and social media in October 2020. The University College Dublin research partner team conducted the analysis. Logistic regression was used for the analysis, using IBM SPSS Version 26.
RESULTS: One hundred nineteen PWCF responded. 47.5% deferred their hospital visits, with delays ranging from 1 to 6 months. Deferrals impacted rehabilitation therapies, medical care at hospital, and diagnostic tests. For many, online consultation was a new experience (51.7%), and 87.8% were satisfied with this method. Among those who worked during lockdown (47.8%), 87.2% (n = 48) worked at home. PWCF aged < 35 years (9.6%) were more likely to work onsite as compared to those > 35 years (1.9%). When adjusted for gender and employment, PWCF aged < 35 years were more likely to feel "nervous" (OR: 3.28; P = 0.02), "nothing could cheer them up" (OR: 3.24; P = 0.04), and "tired" (OR: 2.76; P = 0.02) as compared to those > 35 years.
CONCLUSION: COVID 19 pandemic has greatly impacted PWCF in terms of hospital visits, access to tests, CF care, and psychological well-being. Younger PWCF reported greater impact on psychological health. Online consultation and electronic prescription were welcomed and could have a role post-pandemic.
