Pulmonary exacerbations pose a significant clinical burden on people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Whether management of exacerbations should change in the context of modulator therapy is unclear. We describe the characteristics, treatment and lung function outcomes of pulmonary exacerbations requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy (PERITs) in a contemporary Australian cohort of pwCF, in an era of rapidly broadening access to modulator therapy.
Wearable motion sensors, specifically, Inertial Measurement Units, are useful tools for the assessment of orientation and movement during sleep. The DOTs platform (Xsens, Enschede, The Netherlands) has shown promise for this purpose. This pilot study aimed to assess its feasibility and validity for recording sleep biomechanics.
Use of patient-reported outcome measures in clinical settings facilitate the delivery of better health care to improve patient health outcomes.
This study aims to increase knowledge about the nature, extent and impact of removals, repeat removals and entries of new babies into the care system.
The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers have been awarded five of eight State Government awards designed to help cover the hidden costs of conducting research.
Helping children build resilience and cope with the trauma associated with medical emergencies and chronic health conditions is the focus of a promising pilot program being undertaken by The Kids Research Institute Australia.
The Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre is proud to have a team of researchers taking part in, and contributing to, the outstanding scientific programme of the European Respiratory Society International Congress, taking place in Milan.
ORIGINS is Australia's largest longitudinal cohort study of its kind. Following 10,000 WA children from their time in the womb into early childhood, ORIGINS researchers are working to better understand when and why non-communicable diseases develop, and provide solutions for early intervention to ensure every child and family flourishes throughout their lifetime.
Natural outdoor environments such as green and blue spaces have increasingly been seen as key health and wellbeing determinants for adults. However, it is unclear if these effects are seen in young children. We examined the associations between access to natural green and blue space and young children's socioemotional development.
The prevalence estimates of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep (collectively known as movement behaviors) in 3- and 4-year-old children worldwide remains uncertain.
