Effect of posture on lung ventilation distribution and associations with structure in children with cystic fibrosis

Background: We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease.

Air trapping in early cystic fibrosis lung disease-Does CT tell the full story?

Mosaic attenuation on expiratory chest computed tomography (CT) is common in early life cystic fibrosis (CF) and often referred to as "air trapping"

Multiple-breath washout outcomes are sensitive to inflammation and infection in children with cystic fibrosis

The lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection

Altered lung structure and function in mid-childhood survivors of very preterm birth

To obtain comprehensive data on lung structure and function in mid-childhood from survivors of preterm birth.

Mannitol challenge testing for asthma in a community cohort of young adults

We aimed to quantify the diagnostic utility of mannitol challenge testing for asthma in a community cohort and a symptomatic wheezing subset of this cohort.

Determinants of early-life lung function in African infants

To assess the determinants of early lung function in African infants.

A systematic approach to multiple breath nitrogen washout test quality

The application of the systematic review improved inter-observer agreement but did not affect reported multiple breath washout outcomes

Lung Clearance Index and Structural Lung Disease on Computed Tomography in Early Cystic Fibrosis

Lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool to monitor structural lung disease in preschool and school-age children with cystic fibrosis

Impact of lung disease on respiratory impedance in young children with cystic fibrosis

The present study investigated whether lung function measured by forced oscillation technique would be impaired in the presence of infection,...

Infant respiratory infections and later respiratory hospitalisation in childhood

The aim of this study was to use total-population based data on an otherwise healthy population of children to assess the relationship between early...
