Abstract

Background: This study aims to determine the relation between anabolic hormones, Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), growth parameters, and clinical status in prepubertal cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. This prospective study comprises age/sex-matched control subjects and was set in a tertiary care teaching hospital.
