Iron state was measured as part of the comprehensive assessment of 165 patients with cystic fibrosis. Of 127 patients, 41 (32%) had low serum ferritin concentrations and at least this proportion were iron deficiency. Iron state did not correlate with clinical score, radiological score, or results of sputum culture. There was no evidence that patients with iron deficiency were either in better or worse clinical condition than those with better iron stores.
作为对165例囊性纤维化患者进行综合评估的一部分，对铁状态进行了测量。在127例患者中，41例（32%）血清铁蛋白浓度较低，且至少这一比例存在缺铁情况。铁状态与临床评分、放射学评分或痰培养结果均无相关性。没有证据表明缺铁患者的临床状况比铁储备较好的患者更好或更差。
