Background: Studies in cystic fibrosis (CF) report late attention to advance care planning (ACP). The purpose of this study was to examine ACP with patients receiving care at US adult CF care programs.Methods: Chart abstraction was used to examine ACP with adults with CF dying from respiratory failure between 2011 and 2013.Results: We reviewed 210 deaths among 67 CF care programs. Median age at death was 29 years (range 18-73). Median FEV1 in the year preceding death was 33% predicted (range 13-100%); 68% had severe lung disease with FEV1 < 40% predicted. ACP was documented for 129 (61%), often during hospitalization (61%). Those with ACP had earlier documentation of treatment preferences, before the last month of life (73% v. 35%; p =
