Care of the hospitalized patient with cystic fibrosis : a summary of current practice guidelines : recommendations for the hospitalist, part 1 (pulmonary exacerbation)
Abstract
In the past, it was rare to see patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) on adult inpatient services as patients' lifespans were limited. In 1955, most children with CF were not expected to live long enough to attend elementary school. Today the predicted median survival is in the early 40's. This is largely due to the care provided through the national network of CF Foundation-accredited centers.
