The CFFPR includes longitudinal data on children from 117 certified CF Centers, while the OPTN includes information for all patients listed as candidates for lung transplantation in the US. Patient-specific identifiers were used to match patients in the two data sets.

The study population consisted of 514 children with CF listed for lung transplantation in the US during the study period for whom complete data were available. Two hundred forty-eight children (48%) received a lung transplant. The median survival time for children who died before transplantation was 223 days and the median time to transplantation was 427 days.
