Recently, "Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry" was published, which reviewed the physiological basis of oscillometric measures and detailed the technical factors related to equipment and test performance, quality assurance and reporting of results. Here we present a review of the clinical significance and applications of oscillometry.
A The Kids Research Institute Australia study showing a link between intellectual disability and some forms of ART has reinforced the need for co-ordinated long-term monitoring of outcomes of children conceived using these techniques.
The Horizon2020 LifeCycle Project is a cross-cohort collaboration which brings together data from multiple birth cohorts from across Europe and Australia to facilitate studies on the influence of early-life exposures on later health outcomes. A major product of this collaboration has been the establishment of a FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) data resource known as the EU Child Cohort Network. Here we focus on the EU Child Cohort Network's core variables.
In 2020, we celebrated our 30th birthday with those who matter most — the kids whose lives we’ve changed through the research we do.
Long-term survival was lower for Aboriginal children with congenital heart defects
Children with congenital heart defects (CHDs) are at higher risk of developing an intellectual disability. However, severity of intellectual disabilities among this group of children are largely unknown. Our objective was to determine the risk of intellectual disability (ID), ID severity, and autism among children with CHDs.
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...
