Age- and height-based prediction bias in spirometry reference equations

Prediction bias in spirometry reference equations can arise from combining equations for different age groups,...

PREDICT CF: Assessing the role of lung clearance index in predicting disease progression in children with cystic fibrosis

There is increasing evidence that the assessment of ventilation distribution using the multiple breath washout (MBW) technique is sensitive to changes in disease status of children with cystic fibrosis.

Variants associated with HHIP expression have sexdifferential effects on lung function

Lung function is highly heritable and differs between the sexes throughout life. However, little is known about sexdifferential genetic effects on lung function. We aimed to conduct the first genome-wide genotype-by-sex interaction study on lung function to identify genetic effects that differ between males and females.

Influence of secular trends and sample size on reference equations for lung function tests

The aim of our study was to determine the contribution of secular trends and sample size to lung function reference equations, and establish the number...

Research

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...

Air travel and the risks of hypoxia in children

In infants and children with chronic respiratory disease, hypoxia is a potential risk of aircraft travel.

Respiratory function in healthy Emirati children using forced oscillations

Forced oscillation technique measurements were feasible in Emirati school-children. New forced oscillation technique reference equation in Emirati children were derived.

Reference values for spirometry and their use in test interpretation: A Position Statement from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Respiratory Science

The ANZSRS recommends the adoption of the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) 2012 spirometry reference values throughout Australia and New Zealand

Exhaled breath temperature in healthy children is influenced by room temperature and lung volume

Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation
