Lung function following very preterm birth in the era of 'new' bronchopulmonary dysplasiaThe pathophysiology of BPD has changed in recent years as advances in neonatal care have led to increased survival of smaller, more preterm, infants who...

Technical standards for respiratory oscillometryThe aim of the task force was to provide technical recommendations regarding oscillometry measurement

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

Biomarkers to define the treatment end-point for pulmonary exacerbations in cystic fibrosisAdvances in our understanding of early cystic fibrosis lung disease led by the Australian Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) have also indicated the potential utility of a number of biomarkers for monitoring disease severity.

New risk factor identified to help predict the long-term lung health of young adults born very pretermA study which set out to determine ways to predict the long-term lung health of young adults born very preterm has shown that a childhood history of respiratory hospital admission should be a key consideration in the management of preterm children and adults.
