Major increase in CF population predicted

In 2015, Pierre-Régis Burgel and colleagues presented a study in the European Respiratory Journal (ERJ) that predicted a 50% increase in cystic fibrosis patients by 2025 in Western Europe. This corresponded to 20% increase in children and a 75% increase in adults. In a follow-up report recently published in the August issue of the ERJ, the authors suggest that this increase may be even higher.
