Abstract
Previous studies have shown female sex, impaired pulmonary function, older age, malnutrition, and colonization of the respiratory tract by Pseudomonas cepacia to be associated with a poor prognosis in patients with cystic fibrosis. We sought to determine the prognostic value of exercise testing in addition to the other prognostic factors.Keywords
