37 children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis were retrospectively evaluated for 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, pulmonary function, and nutritional status. The study found hypovitaminosis D in 54% of subjects and a significant association with pulmonary exacerbation frequency over a 2-year period. The dataset was created by Renata Ongaratto from a clinical study abstract.
Use Cases
- Predicting pulmonary exacerbation risk based on vitamin D levels mentioned in the description
- Analyzing the association between nutritional status and vitamin D deficiency in pediatric cystic fibrosis patients
- Training models to identify hypovitaminosis D as a potential marker for disease severity

- Includes data for 37 pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis
- Reports specific statistical significance (p=0.007, p=0.002) for key associations
- Measures multiple clinical variables: vitamin D levels, BMI, height-for-age, and pulmonary function
