Appetitive characteristics in children with cystic fibrosis: Questionnaire validation and associations with nutritional status.

CONCLUSIONS: The CEBQ can be used in a clinical setting to identify children with CF with appetitive characteristics associated with difficulty gaining weight. These children could potentially benefit from earlier interventions to aid in weight gain. Characterization of appetite using the CEBQ could aid investigation of the biological etiology of low appetite, and optimization of clinical and parental approaches to achieving a healthy nutritional status.
