Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in cystic fibrosis: Case-control study from the French registry.

ABSTRACT: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a significant complication in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), driven by hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus. This study aimed to identify factors associated with the development of ABPA in pwCF, using data from the French CF Registry (FCFR). We conducted a multicenter case-control study utilizing anonymized data from the FCFR, spanning the period from 2016 to 2021. A total of 312 ABPA cases were matched to 936 controls. Various clinical factors, including CFTR variants, nutritional status, glucose disorders, respiratory function, chronic bacterial colonization, and treatments such as antibiotics, corticosteroids, and antifungals, were analyzed. Multivariate analyses and logistic regression models were used to identify associations
