The clinical yield of bronchoscopy in the management of cystic fibrosis: A retrospective multicenter study.

In this multicenter retrospective analysis of bronchoscopy procedures from three CF centers, we have shown that a significant proportion of bronchoscopies led to a change in treatment, with no serious adverse events. Our findings suggest that bronchoscopy is a safe procedure that may assist in guiding treatment in some pwCF. Future studies should evaluate whether BAL-guided decision-making may also lead to a change in clinical outcomes in pwCF.
