Abstract
The year 2024 marks a pivotal moment in the field of cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment, characterised by significant advancements in clinical care and an expanding body of literature on CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators. These CFTR therapies have transformed the landscape of CF management, offered systemic benefits, and established new guidelines for assessing clinical manifestations and therapies. Additionally, progress has been made in newborn screening (NBS), diagnosis, and understanding outcomes for individuals with CF-related metabolic syndrome or inconclusive diagnostic results. However, amidst these clinical milestones, disparities in global access to CFTR modulators (CFTRm) persist, threatening to exacerbate existing inequities in CF care. This review provides a focused overview of the most impactful articles from 2024, highlighting both the clinical advancements and the pressing global accessibility challenges that define this transformative era in CF research and treatment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cystic Fibrosis is the official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society. The journal is devoted to promoting the research and treatment of cystic fibrosis. To this end the journal publishes original scientific articles, editorials, case reports, short communications and other information relevant to cystic fibrosis. The journal also publishes news and articles concerning the activities and policies of the ECFS as well as those of other societies related the ECFS.
