Where this comes from

Abstract

The care of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) has improved over the past 30 years, and most patients now survive well into adulthood. As a result, clinicians other than pediatricians are more likely than in the past to see CF patients and manage their respiratory, gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and reproductive complications.
