Abstract

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common life-limiting genetic condition. As the disease progresses access to specialist tertiary multi-disciplinary care services may become necessary. For patients living in regional/remote Australia, accessing such services may be a challenge. Here, we describe long-term outcomes for CF patients according to their access to specialist CF centre care in childhood.<br /> (© 2020 Royal Australasian College of Physicians.)
