Presse Med. 2017 May 26;: Authors: Stephenson AL, Stanojevic S, Sykes J, Burgel PR Abstract Once considered a pediatric disease with a poor prognosis, individuals born with cystic fibrosis (CF) today can expect to live well into adulthood. The implementation of multidisciplinary care, novel treatments and newborn screening has resulted in the rapid evolution in the demographics of the CF population. The purpose of this review is to highlight the evolving epidemiology and demographics of the CF population internationally. PMID: 28554720 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
