  • Study examines outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients post-solid organ transplantation.
  • Retrospective international cohort study involving 526 SARS-CoV-2 infections from 19 countries.
  • Median age at infection was 36 years, with median time since transplant at 5.8 years.
  • Timing of transplant relative to infection did not significantly affect hospitalization or death risk.
  • Higher baseline ppFEV1 was associated with lower odds of severe outcomes (death or hospitalization).
  • Lung function trajectory did not significantly change in the year following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • Patients with more severe lung disease were at higher risk for worse outcomes.
