Lung function comparison between two decades in cystic fibrosis children: A single centre study

ConclusionsOur results show that pulmonary function has clearly ameliorated over a decade in young CF patients, in a period during which several significant therapeutic changes have been introduced, such as dornase alfa, tobramycin and hypertonic saline. To our knowledge this is the first study showing a cohort effect in patients diagnosed after neonatal screening. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2015;9999:1–7. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
