Increasing diversity within the Global Lung Function Initiative

The Global Lung Function Initiative has worked to develop all‐age, multi‐ethnic reference equations for the major clinical lung function tests

Inhaled corticosteroids to improve lung function in children (aged 6–12 years) who were born very preterm (PICSI): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Despite the substantial burden of lung disease throughout childhood in children who were born very preterm, there are no evidence-based interventions to improve lung health beyond the neonatal period. We tested the hypothesis that inhaled corticosteroid improves lung function in this population.

Air pollution during pregnancy and lung development in the child

Air pollution exposure has increased in recent years and there is evidence that exposure to particulate matter can lead to adverse respiratory outcomes.
