Objectives: Lung transplantation is a complex, high- risk, potentially life-saving therapy for the patient with the end-stage of cystic fibrosis (CF). The decision to pursue transplantation involves comparing the likelihood of survival with and without transplantation as well as assessing the effect of wait-listing and transplantation on the patient's quality of life. The aim of this study was to examine is there a difference in psychological status between CF patients who have not been transplanted and CF lung transplant recipients. Methods: Two patient groups, adult CF patients (N=22) and adult CF lung transplant recipients (N=6), participated in our study. The patients completed Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ 9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD 7). These data were compared to health status data, including pulmonary function testing and nutritional status measures. Results: In adult CF group, 52% of patients had mild to moderate anxiety and 95% mild to moderate depression. In adult CF lung transplant recipients group, 17% of subjects had minimal anxiety and 83% had minimal depression. Conclusion: In this study we find significant difference in the level of anxiety and depression between CF patients who have not been transplanted and CF lung transplant recipients. Lung transplantation in CF patient significantly contributed to the improvement of the psychological condition and quality of life.

Objectives: Living with chronic illness such as cystic fibrosis (CF) is accompanied by medical and psychological difficulties. To identify and treat depression and anxiety in CF, the CF Foundation and the European CF Society invited a panel of experts, including physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, a pharmacist, parents and an individual with CF, to develop consensus recommendations for clinical care. The aim of this study was to assess anxiety and depression by using validated mental health survey data. Methods: CF patients were recruited from adult CF centre in Zagreb, Croatia from October 2016 to December 2017. 22 patients (13 female, 9 male, mean age 24, 18-33 years) completed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7). Results: 82% and 59% of our patients had a normal anxiety and depression score (0-4), 41% of patients have symptoms of anxiety, and 18% of the patients have symptoms of depression (score between 5 and 9). No one had any serious anxiety and/or depression present. Conclusions: Anxiety and depression are serious complication of chronic illnesses such as cystic fibrosis. Our results highlight the need for improved early identification and management strategies for psychological illnesses in adult CF patients. Research efforts are needed to identify effective strategies for delivering anxiety and depression treatment in CF patients and to assess their risks and benefits. Furthermore, strategies that help patients maintain or even improve lung function may be an interesting topic for further studies to learn more about resources and successful coping strategies.
