Using CFRI data to better understand CF
CFRI and its approved researchers produce high quality research that will advance the field of cystic fibrosis epidemiology. The research undertaken is scrutinised by experts in the field in a process known as peer review, which is the foundation of the scholarly publication system.
Peer-reviewed articles published by the CFRI are below. The CFRI contributes to European CF Society Patient Registry peer-reviewed articles.
