About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis, Pathogen-colonization in the Upper and Lower Airways and Ability to Smell in Cystic Fibrosis

Aim of the study is to detect the prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis, pathogen colonization of the lower and upper airways and, in a sub-cohort the sense of smelling in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Read the detailed description

The sub-study on the sense of smelling in CF has been finalized in the meantime. Results were published in 2012:

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dynamics in CF upper and lower airway colonization with pathogens (time frame: 10 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00803881, which also lists 4 linked publications.
