Reporting and resources

Cystic fibrosis (CF) care teams enter data to the UK CF Registry at every specialist centre and clinic across the UK, with over 99% of people with CF consenting to their data being submitted.

The UK CF Registry report 2019

Registry results are published each year in the annual report. Detailed and at-a-glance versions of the report are produced, both designed to be accessible to people with cystic fibrosis and their families, as well as their healthcare teams. The detailed report includes data about individual cystic fibrosis centres, to help the centres benchmark themselves against their peers, and provide people with cystic fibrosis information that applies to their specific care team.

COVID-19 in people with CF

The UK CF Registry is monitoring cases of COVID-19 in people with cystic fibrosis. Take a look at the current UK statistics for people with CF affected by COVID-19. We will update this information weekly to add new cases reported to the Registry. 

Distribution of CF in the UK

Registry survey

In early 2015, we asked people with CF and their parents about plans for future development of the UK CF Registry, to makes sure that it meets their needs as well as those of heathcare teams, researchers and the wider NHS. Thank you to everyone who took part, helping us shape the future of the Registry. Take a look at the full survey, or the at-a-glance report to find out more.

Genotype data by nation and age

The following has been published as a result of a data request submitted to the UK CF Registry. The request, by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, described populations potentially eligible for therapies ivacaftor (Kalydeco) lumacaftor-ivacaftor (Orkambi), tezacaftor-ivacaftor (Symkevi), the Vertex triple therapies (tezacaftor-ivacaftor-VX659/VX445), and the population with heterozygous F508del.

For more information about genotypes across the UK, please see the UK Cystic Fibrosis Registry Annual Data Report 2018.

PbR tariff bandings for people with cystic fibrosis in England

Since April 2013 Specialist Commissioners of cystic fibrosis care in England have made mandatory tariff payments to CF centres based on something called the ‘year of care tariff’. The tariff uses UK CF Registry data to categorise the severity of a person’s CF disease. The tariff only covers CF-related care at hospitals in England. For example, it does not include A&E visits, or admissions for trauma. It also excludes charged for high-cost CF drugs such as DNase, nebulised antibiotics and ivacaftor (Kalydeco).

You can view the NHS Payment by Results guidance here.

In 2022, the proportion of patients in England falling into each of the seven bandings was as follows:

Adult sites

  • Band 1: 8%
  • Band 1A: 1%
  • Band 2: 13%
  • Band 2A: 37%
  • Band 3: 33%
  • Band 4: 6%
  • Band 5: 1%

Paediatric sites 

  • Band 1: 22%
  • Band 1A: 4%
  • Band 2: 32%
  • Band 2A: 22%
  • Band 3: 18%
  • Band 4: 2%
  • Band 5: 0%
