The clinical features that contribute to poor bone health in young Australians living with cystic fibrosis: A recommendation for BMD screening.

Second yearly scans may be unnecessary in children with an adequate DXA score on the initial scan who remain clinically stable. However, clinical deterioration in those whose BMD was previously normal, may require closer monitoring of bone health. We propose a guideline for the frequency of DXA monitoring in relation to clinical risk factors.
