Registry Participation | The Australian Cystic Fibrosis Data Registry will collect data annually from CF Centres on their patient's health status (eg. height, weight, lung function) and markers of quality of life (eg. days spent in hospital, year at school, employment). The information will be obtained from the hospital medical record. The registry will not contact patients or their families and all the records are kept strictly confidential. If you would like to inspect a blank data form containing all the questions asked, please let us know and we will provide it to you via your clinic. |
