Study subgroups: CF-C-PI = CF-causing group, pancreatic insufficient; CF-C-PS = CF-causing group, pancreatic sufficient; VCC = mutations of varying clinical consequence group; and Unk = mutation of unknown liability group. Pancreatic insufficient subjects were removed from VCC (n = 3) and Unk (n = 16) groups for this analysis. There was a statistically significant difference between CF-C-PI and CF-C-PS (p = 0.0247), VCC (p = 0.0013), and Unk (p<0.0001). There is no statistically significance difference between CF-C-PS and VCC and Unk (respectively p = 0.9767 and p = 0.9922). Pairwise comparisons indicate a significant difference of WHZ between CF-C-PI and CF-C-PS, VCC, and Unk at 1m (p<0.0001) and at 6 months (p = 0.0003), and no statistically significant difference at 12 months (p = 0.177), suggesting nutritional recovery in the CF-C-PI group.
