Question for those with HIGHHHHHH pfts

I think she meant given her PFT's right now at 60%, she's not eligable for a Tx.

And I know this has been brought up before, but an FEV1 of 60% is not mild. 60% is moderate CF.

Wait, wait, wait.

I always thought the degree of your CF was to do with your age??

For example: A child aged 8, with pfts of 20% would be severe yes?

An adult aged 70, with pfts of 20% would be mild I thought?

Meaning that the 70 year old has lived 70 years with pfts 100% which have slowly come down to 20. I realise that by 70 he would be considered severe but doesn't age have something to do with it?

I'm useless at wording what I mean....<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Age is already a factor in how the determine the FEV1. so an FEV 1 0f a 100% at 20 years may be 5.5 liters, but an FEV1 at 50 may be 3 liters.
