| population | Saudi Arabia | “Cystic fibrosis and the liver--a Saudi experience. In view of the high rate of consanguinity in Saudi Arabia and the high number of children dying so young, many Saudi infants with CF remain undiagnosed owing to lack of clinical suspicion and proper diagnostic facilities. Over a 6-year period (1986-1992), we have made a diagnosis of CF in 36 cases. Consanguinity was present in eight cases, two were siblings. It is concluded that hepatic presentation among Saudi patients with CF is relatively common, with serious sequelae.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
