Özet
Background/ aim: Since January 2015, the Cystic Fibrosis Newborn Screening (CFNS) program has been implemented in Turkey. We aimed to evaluate the demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of cases referred from the CFNS program and to determine the most suitable cut-off value for immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT)-1 and immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT-2) that are used in the CFNS program in Turkey.
