CF: Assessment: Energy Expenditure (2018-19)
-
Assessment
In participants with CF, what is the accuracy of using energy requirement formulas to determine resting energy expenditure (REE) compared to indirect calorimetry or doubly labeled water?
-
Conclusion
In one study of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) 6-9 years who were primarily pancreatic insufficient, CF-specific energy equations over-estimated needs (122-136%) compared to doubly labeled water. Energy estimated with the IOM active lifestyle formula and RDA were similar to measured values, though these equations did not adjust for individuals’ activity level.
In adults with end-stage CF, Harris-Benedict, Schofield and WHO 1985 energy expenditure equations underestimated energy needs compared to indirect calorimetry (76-78% in pre-lung transplant and 90-91% in post-lung transplant). Underestimation was greater in those with more severe disease.

Grade: III
- Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
- Grade II is Fair;
- Grade III is Limited/Weak;
- Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
- Grade V is Not Assignable.
- High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
- Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
- Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
- Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
- Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
