Meconium Ileus Operated

My daughter is 3 years old now. She was operated for Meconium ileus at her new born period. She has heterozygous delta F508 mutation and other mutation is yet to be identified. How many % of CF patients would have operated for Meconium Ileus? Can anybody tell me the approx statistics of this?

Our son also had MI as a newborn. About 15% of cf patients present with Meconium Illeus, and I seem to recall those with homozygous (2 copies) of delta f508 the percentage is about 30%.

Thank you for the data given. In India, have not seen many cases with MI operated having CF (double delta F508)
