Given our contractual agreements with our funders, we have limited resources to take on and support any new reviews or update our existing reviews, but are always open to a discussion. If you are interested in becoming an author with the Cochrane CF, please go to Join Cochrane and set up your Cochrane account if you do not yet have one.

Proposals to update published reviews are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact Cochrane CF initially and we will assess if we are able to support the update and inform you of the next steps in the process. 

Title proposals are submitted via a central portal on Editorial Manager. Cochrane has a policy on the format of review titles which should be adhered to as far as possible. Cochrane provides many learning resources for authors wishing to complete a Cochrane review.

We previously produced a list of priority titles for CF reviews which was informed by a James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership in cystic fibrosis (CF). This exercise involved over 600 people with CF and clinicians in over 23 countries. Participants were asked “What question about CF would you most like to see answered by research?” There were over 1000 suggestions! We excluded questions which had already been answered – as shown by our overview of CF systematic reviews and guidelines. We grouped similar remaining questions and used a Delphi approach to reduce these to a manageable number. We asked the patient and clinical community to take part in a prioritisation survey and selected the top 10 research questions in a final workshop. You can download a document of our existing reviews and protocols as well as our priority titles to the top 10 here.
