Finger clubbing was measured in 73 of 105 patients with cystic fibrosis undergoing full assessment. The sign correlated well with the chest x ray score and indices of pulmonary function and infection but not with weight, height, age, liver function, or degree of fat malabsorption. The presence of clubbing suggests appreciable pulmonary involvement. Most probably its progression indicates a deterioration in pulmonary state. In both instances increased efforts should be made to treat the infection.
在105例接受全面评估的囊性纤维化患者中,对其中73例进行了杵状指测量。该体征与胸部X光评分、肺功能指标及感染情况密切相关,但与体重、身高、年龄、肝功能或脂肪吸收不良程度无关。杵状指的出现提示肺部有明显受累。很可能其进展表明肺部状态恶化。在这两种情况下,都应加大治疗感染的力度。
