Life tables for 128 children with cystic fibrosis without meconium ileus, and for 43 cases with meconium ileus, have been constructed for the five years starting in 1964. These are compared with similar tables constructed for the preceding 20 years and show narrowing of the gap between the life expectancy of those entered at birth and at diagnosis, and a very obvious improvement in survival rate. It is suggested that this is due to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
已为128例无胎粪性肠梗阻的囊性纤维化患儿以及43例有胎粪性肠梗阻的患儿编制了从1964年开始的五年生命表。将这些生命表与此前20年编制的类似表格进行比较，结果显示出生时登记的患儿与诊断时登记的患儿预期寿命之间的差距在缩小，存活率有非常明显的提高。有人认为这是早期诊断和治疗的结果。
