Variability of fecal pancreatic elastase measurements in cystic fibrosis patients [PDF]

Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2002
the fecal pancreatic elastase-1 (EL-1) test is a new non-invasive test for pancreatic function. The aim of the study was to evaluate the intra-patient variability of the fecal EL-1 test in a cystic fibrosis (CF) population.26 CF patients were recruited. Mean patient (S.D.) age was 13.7 years (5.39).

Fecal elastase activity in premature children

Rossiyskiy Vestnik Perinatologii i Pediatrii (Russian Bulletin of Perinatology and Pediatrics), 2019
We studied the activity of fecal elastase in 54 premature newborns of a gestation period of 22–32 weeks. The samples of feces were collected at the age of 13–14 days. Premature children born at gestational age of 22–28 weeks had pancreatic insufficiency of light degree by 2 weeks of age, preterm infants with a gestational age of 28–32 weeks by 2 weeks ...
