Overview

If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].

OR

Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

OR

Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.

Natural History

Malnutrition and poor growth (due to loss of pancreatic exocrine function) leads to death in the first decade of life for most untreated patients.[1]

Complications

Prognosis

  • Life expectancy of patients with cystic fibrosis has been increased over past decades because of better symptomatic treatment strategies.[2]
  • In patients with cystic fibrosis, obstructive lung disease and other lung complications are currently the primary causes of morbidity and are responsible for 80% of mortality.
