Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) has not been well-studied among people with CF (PwCF) and may be a common cause of abdominal symptoms.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of PUD in PwCF and assess for possible contributing factors.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This study utilized the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. All patients 18 years or older with CF were identified from 2014 to 2019. Relevant patient characteristics and procedures were identified using ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes.
