The aim of this study was to document the likely interpretative effects of changing from commonly used current spirometry reference equations to the GLI2012...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease commences early in the disease progression and is the most common cause of mortality.
We aimed to ascertain the fit of the European Respiratory Society Global Lung Initiative 2012 reference ranges to contemporary Australasian spirometric data.
Prediction bias in spirometry reference equations can arise from combining equations for different age groups,...
In this review, we have examined the role of lung function testing in infants and preschool children with CF.
In infants and children with chronic respiratory disease, hypoxia is a potential risk of aircraft travel.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition that results in chronic lung disease. In recent years, a new type of medication called CFTR modulators has become available.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease that impairs quality of life and reduces life expectancy.
Limited evidence suggests that airway epithelial structure and function is disrupted in very preterm infants; however, the epithelial morphology and physiology has not been well characterised following discharge from neonatal intensive care. This study aimed to characterise the nasal airway epithelium from 1-year-old survivors of very preterm birth.
People born preterm (<37 weeks’ gestation) have lower peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2), a well-established indicator of long-term health outcomes, compared to term-born peers. However, responses to exercise can vary with exercise mode, which has implications for prognostic assessments.
