Abstract
A bimodal birth distribution and seasonal trend were previously reported in cystic fibrosis. The present study of 412 [human] cases in Manchester and Bristol [England, UK] does not confirm the presence of a seasonal trend or any cyclic variation, and in general the trends in the present study are the reverse of those in the previous reports.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
