title: Cystic fibrosis papers of the year 2013.
abstract: Studies published in the last year have highlighted the need for age and disease severity appropriate outcome measures. There is conflicting evidence on the usefulness of CT scans in infancy, but increasingly lung clearance index (LCI) appears a sensitive and repeatable measure in those with milder CF lung disease. The number of well designed appropriately powered intervention studies continues to increase.
