Temporal trends in healthcare resource use and associated costs of patients with cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene [1]. CFTR protein dysfunction induces a multisystem disease including respiratory manifestations and pancreatic, liver and gastrointestinal diseases. The prognosis remains dominated by the pulmonary manifestations leading to respiratory exacerbations and lung function decline [1].
