UK Cystic Fibrosis Registry
The UK Cystic Fibrosis Registry is a secure centralised database, sponsored and managed by Cystic Fibrosis Trust. It records health data on consenting people with cystic fibrosis (CF) in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
-
How does the Registry work?
CF care teams enter data at every specialist centre and clinic across the UK, with over 99% of people with CF consenting to their data being submitted.
-
How can Registry data be used?
Non-identifiable Registry data is used to improve the health of people with cystic fibrosis through research, to guide quality improvement at care centres and to monitor the safety of new drugs. A strict evaluation process, overseen by a committee of experts, ensures that Registry data is used in line with the consent that has been provided, and that it has maximum impact for people with cystic fibrosis.
