Trial Outcomes & Findings for Behavioral & Nutritional Treatment to Help CF Preschoolers Grow (NCT NCT00241969)

NCT ID: NCT00241969

Last Updated: 2018-05-22

Results Overview

This primary outcome measure compared change in energy intake from baseline to post treatment between the behavioral and nutrition treatment and the education and attention control treatment. Energy intake was assessed using a 7-day diet diary recorded by parents and analyzed using Nutrition Data System for Research Software, Version 2011. Data were examined as average kilocalories per day over the 7 day period at baseline and post treatment. The mean (SD) change in energy intake was compared between baseline to post treatment was

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

This outcome measure examines the change in weight for age Z-score (WAZ) from baseline to post treatment. Weight was measured in kilograms, measured to the nearest 100 grams, obtained using a digital scale by trained study staff. All measurements were obtained in triplicate and then the mean used for analyses. Weight for age Z score was calculated using the mean measurement and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Anthropometric Software Program. The z score is a measure of the number of standard deviations that an observation is above or below the mean. A positive z score indicates that the observation is above the mean, a negative z score that the observation is below the mean.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

This outcome measure examines the change in height for age Z-score (HAZ) from baseline to follow up. Height was measured standing unless the child was unwilling to stand, then a supine measurement was obtained. All measurements were obtained in triplicate and then the mean used for analyses. Height for age Z score was calculated using the mean measurement and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Anthropometric Software Program. The z score is a measure of the number of standard deviations that an observation is above or below the mean. A positive z score indicates that the observation is above the mean, a negative z score that the observation is below the mean.
