Note: The Consensus Conference Program was initiated by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) about a decade ago to synthesize the knowledge of experts on a selected topic in cystic fibrosis (CF) patient care together with the current literature. The goal is to establish guidelines for patient care. Whenever the need to examine a topic in patient care is apparent, CFF organizes a conference to review current knowledge. Two chairpersons are recruited on the basis of their level of expertise on that topic; a panel of 20 to 30 CF care givers and other experts on the chosen topic is then selected to share their expertise and ideas throughout the meeting. These 2-day meetings culminate in the consensus panel arriving at recommendations that reflect current trends while also anticipating future areas critical to patient care. The aims of the consensus document are provision of a uniform level of care to all patients with CF, education of CF care givers, and suggestions for future research.—Robert J.
