Abstract
The proportion of LTx performed for CF has significantly decreased over time, a trend especially pronounced in pediatric patients. The change in pre-transplant characteristics across eras indicates a trend to perform LTx in more clinically ill and older patients with CF. The overall post-LTx survival has not changed.
