Abstract
The evidence base for modulator therapies in cystic fibrosis (CF) has continued to expand, and it is likely that up to 90% of people with CF could benefit. Worldwide there are however marked inequalities of access to basic CF care and modulator therapies. For infants and young children there is now an evidence base for inhaled hypertonic saline. There is increasing evidence that structural lung disease in CF is not due purely to infection and that mucus retention and inflammation are also key, and further evidence of the value of azithromycin in those chronically infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Finally, exercise is good for you, but airway clearance is better for mucus clearance.
