Analysis of Prediction by Ultrasound of the Risk of Hepatic Cirrhosis in Cystic Fibrosis Cohort Using Advanced MRI to Characterize and Predict CF Liver Disease

The Analysis of Prediction by Ultrasound of the Risk of Hepatic Cirrhosis in Cystic Fibrosis Cohort Using Advanced MRI to Characterize and Predict CF Liver Disease (PUSH-MRE) study was a prospective cross sectional ancillary study of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis enrolled in the Prediction by Ultrasound of the Risk of Hepatic Cirrhosis in Cystic Fibrosis Liver Disease (CFLD PUSH) study. PUSH-MRE sought to determine the feasibility of MRI and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to predict the development of advanced liver disease in children and adolescents with CF. Participants were a subset to those enrolled in the CFLD PUSH study, at 8 of the 11 centers that had research MRE capability.

This study is an ancillary study to the CFLD PUSH study. If requesting access to the PUSH-MRE data, it is recommended to also request access to the CFLD PUSH data to obtain comprehensive information collected on study participants.
