Abstract Background and Aim In patients with cystic fibrosis CF the architecture of the developing lungs and the ventilation of lung units are progressively affected influencing intrapulmonary gas mixing and gas exchange. We examined the long-term course of blood gas measurements in relation to characteristics of lung function and the influence of different CFTR genotype upon this process. Methods Serial annual measurements of PaO2 and PaCO2 assessed in relation to lung function providing functional residual capacity
