PRAGMA-CF, a new way of measuring early lung disease in young kids with cystic fibrosis is changing the way we detect and treat CF.
Early intervention is being touted as the key to preventing lung damage in children with cystic fibrosis.
When Ingrid Laing was born, the outlook for kids with cystic fibrosis was bleak. Her parents were told she might make it to 20 if she was lucky.

That's why Melissa has signed up her four year old healthy son Odin for a study at Perth's The Kids Research Institute Australia that will help kids with cystic fibrosis.
Professor Stephen Stick has been awarded the prestigious Richard C. Talamo Distinguished Clinical Achievement Award from the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute are one step closer to preventing serious lung disease which is the main cause of suffering in cystic fibrosis.
Pulmonary exacerbations pose a significant clinical burden on people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Whether management of exacerbations should change in the context of modulator therapy is unclear. We describe the characteristics, treatment and lung function outcomes of pulmonary exacerbations requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy (PERITs) in a contemporary Australian cohort of pwCF, in an era of rapidly broadening access to modulator therapy.
Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is characterised by abnormal collapsibility of the trachea and bronchi, often seen in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study aims to determine the impact of TBM on hospital admissions in young children with CF.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common chronic, life-shortening genetic condition affecting young Australians. There is no cure but researchers are working to prevent the onset of lung disease.
