## Abstract ## Aims To explore whether gender differences in the Scandinavian Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients exist in the areas of key clinical parameters, complications, and medication. ## Methods Cross‐sectional data on 890 (416 female) pancreatic insufficient CF patients were evaluated regarding chronic infection, body mass index, lung function, medication, and diabetes, as well as data of __Pseudomonas__ infection status, antibiotic treatment and hospitalization from 1‐year follow‐up. ## Results We found no differences in lung function, body mass index, or frequency of diabetes. The adult group consisted of more males than females (208:168). We found no significant difference in prevalence of chronic __Pseudomonas aeruginosa__ infection, but during the follow‐up the incidence of new chronic infection was higher in adult females (10/33 vs. 4/56). Females had higher prevalence of __Burkholderia__ infection (21/416 vs. 11/474). Adult females had more days on intravenous antibiotics (median 39 vs. 26 days/year), and days in hospital (median 2 vs. 0 days/year). More adult females received inhaled and oral steroids.
