The last year has been an exciting one for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and caregivers. New approaches to care have been evident throughout the CF age spectrum: from prenatal and newborn screening (NBS) becoming an increasingly accepted standard of care, to new guidelines for CF-related diabetes (CFRD) which highlight the approximately 50% prevalence of CFRD in CF adults over the age of 30. Pivotal clinical trials have commenced which do not just seek to address symptoms or complications of CF, but utilize genotype-specific therapies to address underlying CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) dysfunction. Around the globe CF care centers have focused on optimizing treatment practices and care delivery to assure best outcomes for their patients.
