Lung damage in children with CF occurs much earlier than previously thought, and proving this is related to the decline that occurs later will create new paradigms for prevention and treatment.
Understanding if ongoing inflammation in the lungs contributes to the poor lung health experienced by some children who were born preterm.
We hope that through earlier diagnosis and treatment of muscle weakness during sleep, we can prevent future lung failure in children with neuromuscular disorders.
This study aims to show that asthma and allergies in individuals can be predicted before it occurs based on individual family history and information on the early environment.
This study will conduct a detailed lung health assessment in a follow-up of a group of preterm individuals at 19 years of age.
LIFECYCLE is a significant and visionary project to establish an integrated set of long-term world-wide cohorts and clinical trials, which can be investigated and compared across the full life of cohort participants.
