Respiratory function and symptoms in young preterm children in the contemporary era

Preterm children have worse lung function than healthy controls

Is forced oscillation technique the next respiratory function test of choice in childhood asthma

While spirometry contributes to asthma diagnosis and management in older children, it has a limited role in younger children whom are unable to perform FOM.

Geographical disparities in emergency department presentations for acute respiratory infections and risk factors for presenting

One in four ED presentations in WA children are for ARIs, representing a significant out-of-hospital burden with some evidence of geographical disparity

Respiratory impedance in healthy unsedated South African infants: Effects of maternal smoking

Non-invasive techniques for measuring lung mechanics in infants are needed for a better understanding of lung growth and function...

Developing sensitive endpoints for respiratory disease progression in children with neuromuscular disease

We hope that through earlier diagnosis and treatment of muscle weakness during sleep, we can prevent future lung failure in children with neuromuscular disorders.

The aim of this review is to highlight the risk factors that may contribute to increased susceptibility to viral respiratory infections among preterm infants

Risk factors for poorer respiratory outcomes in adolescents and young adults born preterm

The respiratory outcomes for adult survivors of preterm birth in the postsurfactant era are wide-ranging with prognostic factors, especially those encountered after the neonatal period, poorly understood.
