There is no consensus on how best to measure responses to interventions among children and adults with cystic fibrosis (CF).

This review is intended to guide researchers when selecting tests or tools for measuring treatment effects in CF trials. A consensus set of these tests and tools could improve consistency in how outcomes are captured and thereby facilitate comparisons and synthesis of evidence across studies.
