Summary
This study looked at whether a simple, non-invasive breathing test called the lung clearance index can detect early signs of lung disease in young children (ages 3-6) with cystic fibrosis. The goal is to find lung problems sooner so treatment can start earlier. Researchers compared the test results with CT scans and other lung function measures in 53 children.
