Mashup Score: 0EFFECT OF ELEXACAFTOR/TEZACAFTOR/IVACAFTOR ON ANNUAL RATE OF LUNG FUNCTION DECLINE IN PEOPLE WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS - 1 year(s) ago
Progressive lung function decline is a hallmark of cystic fibrosis (CF), with most patients experiencing a decline in percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1Â second (ppFEV1) of 1 to 3 percentage points annually [1]. More rapid decline is associated with more severe CF lung disease and earlier mortality; therefore, preserving lung function is a primary goal of CF clinical care [2,3].
