The AREST CF experience in biobanking - More than just tissues, tubes and time.

Research to further improve outcomes for people with CF is dependent upon well characterised, archived and accessible clinical specimens.

Early lung disease in infants and preschool children with cystic fibrosis: What have we learned and what should we do about it?

This review summarizes what we have learned about early lung disease in children with CF and discusses the implications for clinical practice and research

Chest imaging in cystic fibrosis studies: What counts, and can be counted?

The aim of this study is to characterize the role of currently available CT and MRI markers in clinical studies, and to discuss challenges with CF studies.

The effect of 100% oxygen on tidal breathing parameters in preschool children

This study aimed to determine whether breathing 100% oxygen altered tidal breathing parameters in healthy young children and young children with CF.

Hypoxia and sterile inflammation in cystic fibrosis airways: Mechanisms and potential therapies

In this review, we consider recent evidence regarding hypoxia and sterile inflammation in cystic fibrosis airways

Outcomes and endpoints reported in studies of pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis: A systematic review

There is no consensus about which outcomes should be evaluated in studies of pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Outcomes used for evaluation should be meaningful; that is, they should capture how people feel, function or survive and be acknowledged as important to people with CF, or should be reliable surrogates of those outcomes. We aimed to summarise the outcomes and corresponding endpoints which have been reported in studies of pulmonary exacerbations, and to identify those which are most likely to be meaningful.

Structural determinants of long term functional outcomes in young children with cystic fibrosis

Chest CT identifies children at an early age who have adverse long-term outcomes

Progress in Model Systems of Cystic Fibrosis Mucosal Inflammation to Understand Aberrant Neutrophil Activity

Here we examine the latest findings of neutrophils in pediatric CF lung disease and proposed mechanisms of their pathogenicity

Changing Prevalence of Lower Airway Infections in Young Children with Cystic Fibrosis

Aspergillus species and P. aeruginosa are commonly present in the lower airways from infancy

Discrete choice experiment to evaluate preferences of patients with cystic fibrosis among alternative treatment-related health outcomes: A protocol

The aim of this study is to identify and quantify the preferences of patients with cystic fibrosis regarding treatment outcomes
