A global network of researchers and clinicians, co-led by The Kids’ Professor Graham Hall, has transformed international best practice in identifying low lung function and diagnosing and treating lung disease.
Apgar score, birth weight, sex, socioeconomic status, and maternal ethnicity, in addition to gestational age, have pronounced impacts on disability-free survival.
Marked increases in maternal age and primiparous births were observed. A four-fold increase in the rates of pre-existing medical complications over time...
Studies linking early life exposure to air pollution and subsequent impaired lung health have focused on chronic, low-level exposures in urban settings. We aimed to determine whether in utero exposure to an acute, high-intensity air pollution episode impaired lung function 7-years later.
This is the largest collection of normative T LCO data, and the first global reference values available for T LCO.
There is substantial interest in studying lung function in infants, to better understand the early life origins of chronic lung diseases such as asthma.
This review aims to summarise and evaluate the potential mechanisms and evidence for the role of prenatal infection on the central nervous system, and how it...
Bronchiectasis (not related to cystic fibrosis) is a chronic lung disease caused by a range of etiologies but characterized by abnormal airway dilatation, recurrent respiratory symptoms, impaired quality of life and reduced life expectancy.
Composition of leukocyte populations in the first month of life remains incompletely characterised, particularly in preterm infants who go on to develop late-onset sepsis (LOS). The aim of the study was to characterise and compare leukocyte populations in preterm infants with and without LOS during the first month of life.
