Objective: This study aimed to identify methodological aspects involved in determining anthropometric measurements among studies assessing the nutritional status of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Methods: A search of the literature was performed on MEDLINE via Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The population comprised children and adolescents with CF.
Objective: To describe the main functions of the "Systematic Review Support" web-based system for removing duplicate articles and aiding eligibility analysis during the process of conducting systematic review studies.
Methods: The system was developed based on the incremental build model using the Agile methodology. The software is proprietary source code and was published on a proprietary platform.
Vitamin A and D serum concentrations and risk factors for their deficiencies were investigated in children participating in a government-sponsored fortified milk program. The study used multivariate linear regression analysis with hierarchical selection of independent variables: socio-demographic conditions, children's health, food consumption, breastfeeding, fortified milk, exposure to sunlight, anthropometric measurements, and serum concentration of retinol and 25(OH)D. Vitamin A and vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency values were defined as < 1.
