Impact of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor in lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis in the United States
The introduction of ETI has dramatically reduced the need for lung transplants among pwCF, reflecting significant improvements in lung function and disease management. These findings underscore the transformative impact of CFTR modulators like ETI on the natural history of CF, highlighting the importance of continued advancements in precision medicine for genetic disorders. Future studies should investigate long-term outcomes and sustained trends in lung transplantation needs among pwCF.
