Does distance to a cystic fibrosis center impact health outcomes?

Pediatric pulmonology - 1 Mar 2018

Johnson Ben, Ngueyep Rodrigue, Schechter Michael S, Serban Nicoleta, Swann Julie

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: This paper considers the impact of geographic distance from cystic fibrosis centers on lung function in children, young adults, and adults with cystic fibrosis. METHODS: Clinical patient-level data on 20 351 patients from 1986 to 2011 were evaluated from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation National Patient Registry. We measure distance using a patient's zip code centroid to the center where they received...
