Objectives To determine whether the improved clinical status after newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) segregates with increased therapeutic intervention compared with presentation by clinical diagnosis (CD).Study design In 2002, two populations (1 to 9 years of age) who presented (excluding meconium ileus) by NBS: 3 months of age or by CD were compared in an observational, cross-sectional design. NBS and CD populations (184 and 950 patients, respectively) were divided into 3-year age groups (1 to 3, 4 to 6, and 7 to 9 years). Therapies of duration > 3 months were compared together with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection status.Results NBS patients
