Consensus statement for inert gas washout measurement using multiple- and single- breath tests

Inert gas washout tests, performed using the single- or multiple-breath washout technique, were first described over 60 years ago.

DEFEND CF: Biomarkers to define the treatment end-point for pulmonary exacerbations in cystic fibrosis

Sensitive and reliable tests are required to monitor lung disease severity in cystic fibrosis.

Seven innovative lung health research projects supported by Wal-yan Centre funding

Seven innovative lung health research projects have received funding support as the 2023 Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre Strategic Inspiration Projects.

Lung inflammation and simulated airway resistance in infants with cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by small airway disease; but central airways may also be affected. We hypothesized that airway resistance estimated from computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methodology in infants with CF was higher than controls and that early airway inflammation in infants with CF is associated with airway resistance.

Prediction models for the development of COPD: A systematic review

We aimed to systematically review and assess the performance of all published models that predicted development of COPD

ERS technical standard on bronchial challenge testing: General considerations and performance of methacholine challenge tests

This international task force report updates general considerations for bronchial challenge testing and the performance of the methacholine challenge test.

Multiple-breath washout as a lung function test in cystic fibrosis: A cystic fibrosis foundation workshop report

Recent technological advances in equipment design have produced gains in popularity for this test among cystic fibrosis (CF) researchers and clinicians...

Lung function following very preterm birth in the era of 'new' bronchopulmonary dysplasia

The pathophysiology of BPD has changed in recent years as advances in neonatal care have led to increased survival of smaller, more preterm, infants who...

The all-age spirometry reference ranges reflect contemporary Australasian spirometry

Advances in statistical modelling have allowed the creation of smoothly changing spirometry reference ranges that apply across a wide age range and better...

The changing epidemiology of invasive pneumococcal disease

We investigated trends in invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Western Australia (WA).
