(PharmaNewsWire.Com, May 05, 2017 ) Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder that affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices, causing severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. In CF patients, a defective gene results in sticky and thick secretions that plug up tubes, ducts, and passageways. The signs and symptoms of CF vary depending on the severity of the disease. Most of the signs and symptoms of CF affect the respiratory system and digestive system.
Publisher epidemiologists provided two different forecasts for the diagnosed incident and diagnosed prevalent cases of CF in the 7MM: a forecast based on registry data and a forecast adjusted for the underestimation of registry-based data. According to the forecast based on registry data, the diagnosed incident cases of CF in the 7MM will decrease from 1,925 cases in 2015 to 1,813 cases in 2025, at an Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of negative 0.58%. The US will have the highest number of diagnosed incident cases of CF among the 7MM throughout the forecast period, while Germany will have the lowest.
According to the forecast adjusted for underestimation of registry data, the diagnosed incident cases of CF in the 7MM will decrease from 2,217 cases in 2015 to 2,074 cases in 2025, at an AGR of negative 0.64%. The US will have the highest number of diagnosed incident cases of CF among the 7MM throughout the forecast period, while Germany will have the lowest.
Publisher epidemiologists utilized peer-reviewed, country-specific studies to forecast diagnosed incident cases, diagnosed prevalent cases, and mortality due to CF in the 7MM from 2015-2025. Diagnosed prevalent cases were segmented by sex, age, specific mutation type, and MRSA infection to provide more detailed information about the patient population. Publisher epidemiologists ensured that the forecast methodology was consistent across all the 7MM to allow for a meaningful comparison of CF across these markets. Scope
- The Cystic Fibrosis (CF) EpiCast Report provides an overview of the risk factors and global trends of CF in the seven major markets (7MM) (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Canada) . It includes a 10-year epidemiology forecast of diagnosed incident cases of CF, diagnosed prevalent cases of CF, and CF mortality segmented by sex in these seven markets. Diagnosed prevalent cases of CF are further segmented by age (starting from zero years of age and up to 85 years and older) , specific mutation type, and chronic Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. - The CF epidemiology report is written and developed by Masters- and PhD-level epidemiologists. - The EpiCast Report is in-depth, high quality, transparent and market-driven, providing expert analysis of disease trends in the 7MM.
