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...

Early lung disease in infants and preschool children with cystic fibrosis: What have we learned and what should we do about it?This review summarizes what we have learned about early lung disease in children with CF and discusses the implications for clinical practice and research
Research
The influence of sighing respirations on infant lung function measured using multiple breath washout gas mixing techniquesThere is substantial interest in studying lung function in infants, to better understand the early life origins of chronic lung diseases such as asthma.

Determinants of lung function development from birth to age 5 years: an interrupted time series analysis of a South African birth cohortEarly life is a key period that determines long-term health. Lung development in childhood predicts lung function attained in adulthood and morbidity and mortality across the life course. We aimed to assess the effect of early-life lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and associated risk factors on lung development from birth to school age in a South African birth cohort.

Reference values for spirometry and their use in test interpretation: A Position Statement from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Respiratory ScienceThe 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 volumeExhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation

Djaalinj Waakinj (listening talking): Rationale, cultural governance, methods, population characteristics–an urban Aboriginal birth cohort study of otitis mediaThe majority of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (hereafter referred to as “Aboriginal”) people live in urban centres. Otitis media (OM) occurs at a younger age, prevalence is higher and hearing loss and other serious complications are more common in Aboriginal than non-Aboriginal children. Despite this, data on the burden of OM and hearing loss in urban Aboriginal children are limited.

The impact of respiratory viruses on lung health after preterm birthThe aim of this review is to highlight the risk factors that may contribute to increased susceptibility to viral respiratory infections among preterm infants

Increasing diversity within the Global Lung Function InitiativeThe Global Lung Function Initiative has worked to develop all‐age, multi‐ethnic reference equations for the major clinical lung function tests
