Validation of the pediatric sleep questionnaire in children with asthma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Most methods used for the assessment of severe steatorrhea in cystic fibrosis (CF) are sensitive. In fact, the tests show their usefulness in a borderline zone of the results. Yet, the existing data related to acid steatocrit (AS) are still contradictory. Therefore, in the present study we have aimed to asse...
