| Abstract |
Gastrointestinal (GI) related symptoms, complications, and comorbidities in cystic fibrosis (CF) are common and research to reduce their burden is a priority to the CF community. To enable future research, this review aimed to summarize the range of GI symptoms, complications and comorbidities seen in CF, the underlying pathophysiology, and treatments. This was a rapid systematic review undertaken using the recommendations from the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group. We searched databases including PubMed, Embase, Medline and the Cochrane database and identified those studies reporting GI related symptoms, complications or comorbidities in CF or their treatment. Our searches identified 2,930 studies and a total 119 studies met our inclusion criteria. Where a prevalence could be determined, GI symptoms were reported in 33.7% of study participants. The range of symptoms reported was broad and the highest median prevalence included flatulence (43.5%), bloating and abdominal distension (36%) and fatty stool (36%). Meconium ileus was reported in 12% and distal intestinal obstruction syndrome in 8.5. GI related symptoms, complications and comorbidities in CF are common. More consistent characterization and recording of these symptoms in clinical studies may help achieve the priority of reducing the burden of GI disease in CF. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 17. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 August 2023.
All research outputs
#2,150,978
of 25,076,138 outputs
Outputs from Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine
#45
of 816 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#38,715
of 359,309 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,076,138 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 816 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 359,309 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
