    Description

    The RIFC was one of the first national registries in the world for Cystic fibrosis: established in 1988 by some pediatricians in order to collect clinical data of Italian patients diagnosed with cystic fibrosis to carry out an epidemiological characterization of the disease in our country. When the Registry started in January 1988, demographic and clinical data of all prevailing cases were entered into the database, and from that time until 2004 all incident cases were added.
