Documentation
The UK CF Registry is a centralised database of all 60 CF centres across the UK. Data are manually entered in calendar years by CF clinical teams for the 99% of people with a diagnosis of CF who consent to their data being donated to the Registry. Data are entered onto a secure web-portal. Sweat tests refer to sweat chloride tests taken by CF patients in relation to diagnosis of CF, investigations or as part of protocol for initiating onto CFTR modifier drug treatments. For more information please see www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk/registry and 'Data Resource Profile: The UK CF Registry' published in the International Journal of Epidemiology (2018 Feb 1;47(1)9-10e).

Whilst the UK CF Registry does not charge for data, it must recoup costs of data handling (including extract and cleaning), project management, and analysis (where applicable) on behalf of third parties. The charging structure outlined below is designed to be fair, proportionate,
and transparent whilst furthering the Registry’s aim of stimulating research use of the data for the benefit of people with cystic fibrosis.
