Childhood outcomes following preterm birth are widely published, however long-term adult outcomes are less well described. We aimed to determine the quality of life and burden of co-morbidities experienced by preterm-born young adults in Western Australia.

This prospective longitudinal study examined changes in milk sodium concentration (Na) and sodium:potassium ratio (Na:K), microbiological culture, milk production, and breast health in relation to mastitis after preterm birth.

The odds of total cerebral palsy after potentially asphyxial birth events or inflammation were modestly increased.

This research aims to examine subfertility in a population pregnancy cohort, analysing the underlying differences between sub fertile couples who conceive naturally, sub fertile couples who conceive using ART or non-IVF, and fertile couples.

Healthy lungs help you to breathe better. This means you can sleep better, as well as play sports, run and walk without being short winded.

Instability of peripheral oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) in preterm infants is correlated with late disability and is poorly understood. We hypothesised that a reduced ventilation to perfusion ratio (VA/Q) is the key predisposing factor for SpO2 instability.

We aimed to develop and validate a prediction table for a simplified measure of rightward shift of the fetal oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpO2) versus inspired oxygen pressure (P IO2) curve as an objective marker of lung disease severity in very preterm infants, independent of unit altitude or oxygen prescribing policies.

The Kids Research Institute Australia is working to understand how lungs grow and develop in premmie babies, and looking at lung function and air travel.

Although formaldehyde concentrations were very low, this finding is consistent with other studies of formaldehyde and poor birth outcomes
