- Daily inhaled therapy is crucial for maintaining lung health in people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF), but measuring adherence to therapy can be complicated due to varying treatment regimens among patients.
- This study utilizes historical data from the UK CF Registry (2011-2015) to create a prediction rule for identifying current Psuedomonas aeruginosa (PA) status in PwCF, achieving high accuracy rates in predictions.
- By effectively identifying patients with chronic PA infection using past registry data, the researchers aim to improve adherence monitoring and quality assessments of care across different medical centers.
