摘要
The natural history of cystic fibrosis (CF) is an evolving phenomenon. As such, it is continually being redefined as epidemiologic data is collected and processed and as advances in treatment for patients with CF improve the quality and quantity of life. The past year was no exception and has produced exciting new insights regarding outcomes in CF. We review the recent literature and focus our discussion on two specific areas with regard to their impact on the natural history of the disease: (1) low socioeconomic status and (2) wasting and cystic fibrosis related diabetes.
