Fighting lung disease

Culturally secure intervention to facilitate medical follow up for Aboriginal children, after being hospitalised with chest infections, have proven to improve long-term lung health outcomes.

Prestigious grants to support lung health and suicide prevention research

Two researchers focused on improving outcomes for children with chronic lung disease and averting suicide contagion and suicide clusters in young people have won prestigious Investigator Grants from the National Health and Medical Research Council.

Improving lung health of Aboriginal children hospitalised with chest infections – Aboriginal Children’s Excellent (ACE) Lung Health Study

The ACE project is led by Dr Pamela Laird and aims to improve post-hospitalisation follow-up of Indigenous children hospitalised with acute lower respiratory tract infections.

LIFECYCLE - Early Life Stressors and LifeCycle Health

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.

Community partnership sets priorities for preterm lung health research

Respiratory disease remains one of the most significant complications of preterm birth, with lasting consequences.

Early detection of lung function abnormalities in young children with cystic fibrosis

In this review, we have examined the role of lung function testing in infants and preschool children with CF.

Characterisation of lung function trajectories and associated early-life predictors in an Australian birth cohort study

There is growing evidence that lung function in early-life predicts later lung function. Adverse events over the lifespan might influence an individual’s lung function trajectory, resulting in poor respiratory health. The aim of this study is to identify early-life risk factors and their impact on lung function trajectories to prevent long-term lung impairments.
