Abstract:Background: Longitudinal data on changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adult people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) and the longitudinal effects of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor therapy (ETI) on HRQoL or HRQoL domains are currently scarce. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ETI on HRQoL and compare them with those of pwCF who did not receive highly effective CFTR modulators over a longer period. Methods: Baseline assessment and follow-up data for 5.6 years in pwCF with (n = 21) and 6.… Show more
