Metabolomics to predict asthma in children (MAP Study)Childhood asthma begins as wheeze (a whistling sound produced by the airways during breathing) during preschool age.
Research
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...

Lung inflammation and simulated airway resistance in infants with cystic fibrosisCystic 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.

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

Age- and height-based prediction bias in spirometry reference equationsPrediction bias in spirometry reference equations can arise from combining equations for different age groups,...

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships to Prevent Permanent Lung Disease (APPLE Study)In partnership with Aboriginal health services, Government agencies and communities, we will develop and implement evidence-based strategies to improve the detection and management of chronic wet cough in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

Wal-yan Centre welcomes Professor André Schultz as new HeadIn an exciting development for the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre, Professor André Schultz has been appointed as the Centre’s new Head, succeeding Professor Stephen Stick.
Research
Association between early respiratory viral infections and structural lung disease in infants with cystic fibrosisInfants with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop structural lung disease early in life, and viral infections are associated with progressive lung disease. We hypothesized that the presence of respiratory viruses would be associated with structural lung disease on computed tomography (CT) of the chest in infants with CF.
Research
Infant respiratory infections and later respiratory hospitalisation in childhoodThe aim of this study was to use total-population based data on an otherwise healthy population of children to assess the relationship between early...
