    ObjectiveOur study aimed to evaluate the impact of the introduction of a new gynecologic referral service in our adult Cystic Fibrosis (CF) center on contraceptive coverage, gynecological follow-up regularity, and cervical cancer screening coverage.Study DesignWe implemented an on-site gynecological consultation in our adult CF center in 2015. We compared the results of two surveys conducted successively in 2014 and in 2017 in a cohort of women with CF attending the Lyon CF center. Women completed the same self-report written questionnaire as in 2014. Main outcome measures were the comparisons of contraceptive coverage, gynecological follow-up regularity, and cervical cancer screening coverage between 2014 and 2017.ResultsAll the 136 women (100%) who attended the clinic in 2017 participated. Contraceptive prevalence rate increased from 69%(CI95%:60.3-78.1) to 86%(CI95%:79.6-92.9) between 2014 and 2017 (p = 0.005). Among transplanted patients, the contraceptive prevalence rate was 92.3%(CI95%:82.0-100) in 2017. Long acting reversible contraceptive use markedly increased from 10% to 21.6% (p = 0.005). The proportion of women that reported an access to gynecological care increased between 2014 and 2017 (74%(CI95%:66.3-82.0) vs 91%(CI95%:86.9-95.4), p < 0.005) and reached 100% among transplanted patients. Cervical cancer screening improved (55%(CI95%:51.2-68.8) vs 85%(CI95%:78.6-90.6) women ever screened) (p < 0.0005) and reached 100% among transplanted patients.ConclusionsWe observed an improvement in contraceptive coverage and gynecological care of adult women with CF following the implementation of a dedicated gynecological consultation in the CF center.ImplicationsService linkages and formal links between CF centers and gynecologists can facilitate access to disease-specific contraceptive counseling, adequate gynecological management and cervical cancer screening.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
