Background/aims: To describe the prevalence of liver disease in a cohort of 241 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.
Methods: 241 CF patients were followed-up every 3 months with clinical and biological assessment, and every year with ultrasonography of the liver. The presence of liver disease was studied using a multivariate Cox's regression analysis including variables such as history of meconium ileus, pulmonary function, pancreatic insufficiency and CFTR gene mutations.
