This survival curve represents population-based outcomes.1 Individual outcomes
in cystic fibrosis are variable.
aData are from a retrospective study of patients enrolled in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation patient registry measuring risk of death over a 10-year observation period
from 1993 to 2002. Patients were grouped as having a high-risk or low-risk genotype based on the functional effects of their class of CFTR mutation on phenotype
and mortality. Patients having a Class I, II, or III mutation on both alleles were considered high-risk, while patients having at least 1 Class IV or V mutation were
categorized as low-risk. A total of 15,651 patients had a CFTR genotype of a known functional class; 14,525 (93%) had a high-risk CFTR genotype and 1126 (7%)
had a low-risk CFTR genotype.1

•B
etween 1993 and 2002,
median survival for US patients
with genotypes associated with
little to no CFTR activity was
36.3 years (95% CI, 35.5 to
37.6 years), while median
survival for those having
genotypes associated with
residual CFTR activity was
50 years (95% CI, 47.1 to
55.9 years)1
– In this study, patients
with the G551D mutation
(Class III) were part of
the severely reduced
CFTR activity group

(2000-2010) suggest median
