    Abstract People with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are living longer and healthier lives due in part to new therapies, called Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) modulators. However, disparities in outcomes still exist, with females demonstrating a shorter life expectancy than males; this is opposed to the typical female versus male life expectancy in the general United States population. In addition, minority populations such as those of Hispanic ethnicity and African Americans are less frequently eligible for these new CFTR modulators. The mechanisms driving this difference and the relative contribution of CFTR to the etiology are not yet elucidated.

    Abstract Background/objective: Total pancreatectomy is performed for pain relief in chronic pancreatitis. Concomitant autologous islet cell transplantation can be performed to improve glycemic control. We report the case of a patient with chronic pancreatitis who underwent a total pancreatectomy with autologous islet cell transplantation with increasing insulin requirements and its association with cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-related disorder.
    Case report: A 40-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and had elevated levels of serum lipase. She was treated for acute pancreatitis. In the subsequent 2 years, she had 4 additional episodes of pancreatitis and eventually developed chronic abdominal pain. She underwent total pancreatectomy for pain relief with autologous intrahepatic islet cell transplantation. She experienced repeated episodes of pneumonia and underwent screening for cystic fibrosis, which showed a 7T/7T polymorphic variant at
    Discussion: Chronic pancreatitis can be a manifestation of an undiagnosed CFTR-related disorder, which in this case was followed by total pancreatectomy. Autologous islet cell transplantation was performed with declining postprocedural glycemic control. Interval failure of the transplanted islets is present in up to two thirds of the patients but is not affected by the presence of cystic fibrosis.
    Conclusion: A gradual decline in glycemic control may be expected in patients with autologous islet cell transplantation and can be improved with the use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion.

    Abstract Purpose of review: With improved long-term survival and the expanding availability of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapies that treat the underlying genetic defect in cystic fibrosis, more people are interested in parenthood. Cystic fibrosis care centers and people with cystic fibrosis need more information to guide decisions related to parenting.
    Recent findings: Here we present currently available data on fertility, pregnancy, and parenthood in the modern era of cystic fibrosis care. Fertility may be improving in female individuals with cystic fibrosis with the use of CFTR modulator therapies, and there is an associated increase in annual pregnancies. Infertility in male individuals with cystic fibrosis remains approximately 97-98% and is unchanged with CFTR modulators in those already born with cystic fibrosis. As more female individuals with cystic fibrosis experience pregnancy, questions remain about the impact of pregnancy on their health and that of their child. Fortunately, there are multiple routes to becoming a parent; however, more work is needed to understand the impact of pregnancy and parenthood in the context of CF as some previous data suggests potential challenges to the health of parents with cystic fibrosis.
    Summary: We encourage cystic fibrosis care teams to have knowledge and resources available to support the reproductive goals of all individuals with cystic fibrosis.

    Abstract Family planning in cystic fibrosis (CF) is an increasingly important aspect of care, as improvements in care and outcomes lead to a rise in the number of pregnancies and parenthood in people with CF. This article highlights: (1) Health considerations for people with CF related to pregnancy, contraception, and parenthood. (2) Facets of reproductive planning, fertility, and preconception counseling. (3) Relationship-centered reproductive health discussions.

    Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that occurs in people of all genetic ancestries. CF is caused by variants in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene that result in decreased, absent, or nonfunctional CFTR protein at the cell surface of the mucous membranes. Clinical manifestations include chronic respiratory disease, malabsorption, and decreased fertility. Historically, therapies for CF were focused on the signs and symptoms of the disease. However, more recently, CFTR modulators, therapies directed at the basic defect, are improving the quality and duration of the lives of people with CF. The predicted survival of people with CF in the United States is now 53 years of age. With the hope of longer, healthier lives, female individuals with CF (fwCF) are expressing the desire to discuss fertility, pregnancy, and parenthood. Furthermore, pregnancy rates are increasing substantially. Understanding the impact of use or discontinuation of highly effective modulator therapy on the reproductive health of fwCF is critical. Finally, fwCF and their providers must consider preventative cancer screening.
