Number of individuals with cystic fibrosis receiving a lung transplant, United States, 1995 to 2023

The number of lung transplants among individuals with CF reported to the CF Foundation Patient Registry declined sharply soon after the approval of ETI in November 2019 (in contrast with an overall increase in the number of lung transplants in the United States). The number of people with CF on the waitlist was also much lower in 2023 compared with 2019 and prior years.
