“…The S-K score was not used in three previous studies of the nutritional status in CF patients. (21)(22)(23) In contrast, there was no significant association between malnutrition and the S-K score in the study by Ziegler et al (24) Longitudinal studies have demonstrated that malnutrition can be expected to increase with aging. (31,32) However, it is interesting that our results showed that young age was a predictor of malnutrition only in the multivariable analysis.…”

“…(21) In contrast, a study carried out in an adult tertiary CF center in France with 163 patients showed that 49.7% of the patients suffered from malnutrition. (22) That study also used the same methodology and the same cut-off points for classifying malnutrition. (22) A retrospective cross-sectional study conducted in São Paulo, Brazil, and involving 30 adolescents (in the 10.1-to 19.8-year age bracket), using a different methodology (BMI for age) to evaluate their nutritional status.…”

“…1,2 It has been associated with both decline in lung function and low body mass index. 3,4 Traditionally oesophageal pH monitoring has been used to detect acid reflux, but more recently impedence pH studies has allowed more sensitive detection of not only acid, but also non-acid reflux. Fundoplication has been performed in children and adults with variable outcomes, but may reduce decline in forced expiratory volume (FEV 1 ) in those with poor lung function.…”
