“…Adherence to these complicated CF medication regimens is only approximately 50s%, with estimates ranging from 31 to 79s% depending on the specific regimen and the person's age [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. There is, however, often substantial variation even within individuals in terms of daily adherence.…”

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem disease causing severe chronic sinopulmonary disease and loss of pancreatic exocrine function, which affects approximately 70,000 individuals worldwide. New therapeutic developments over the last few decades have resulted in a significant increase in survival, with the median predicted survival now reaching the late thirties and more and more CF patients living well into adulthood. However, with this advent of new therapies and the associated increase in survival, new challenges in CF care have also emerged. Two of these challenges, i.e. chronic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus lung infection and patient adherence to very complicated and time-consuming therapeutic regimens, are reviewed in detail here. In addition, the ultimate challenge of treating the underlying cause of CF by correcting the dysfunction of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator chloride channel is reviewed, as agents to correct channel function will likely significantly alter CF clinical outcomes and treatment approaches in the next decade.

“…For example, Simon and colleagues (Simon et al, 2011) found that 24% of children in their study were non-adherent to caloric intake goals, and 41% did not achieve the minimum recommendation of fat intake. Faulkner and colleagues (Faulkner, Taper, & Scott, 2012) found slightly better adherence to taking enzymes with meals (67%) and snacks (56%); however, the sample size (N=9) was quite small. Both of these studies relied on participant recall/self-report of adherence in contrast to the current study, which utilized objective measurement of adherence.…”
