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,...

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...

Early life exposure to coal mine fire smoke emissions and altered lung function in young children

Infant exposure to coal mine fire emissions could be associated with long-term impairment of lung reactance

Research

Timeliness and factors associated with rotavirus vaccine uptake among Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children: A record linkage cohort study

Aboriginal children are at greater risk of rotavirus disease than non-Aboriginal children and delayed vaccine receipt is substantially higher

Research

Maternal exposure to indoor air pollution and birth outcomes

Although formaldehyde concentrations were very low, this finding is consistent with other studies of formaldehyde and poor birth outcomes

Research

Could home-based FeNO measurements breathe new life into asthma management?

Developing a FeNO test that is affordable enough to allow daily measurements, patients will be able to access quantifiable data to assist them to monitor their asthma

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

Advances in our understanding of early cystic fibrosis lung disease led by the Australian Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) have also indicated the potential utility of a number of biomarkers for monitoring disease severity.

Research

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...

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.

Key paediatric messages from the 2018 European Respiratory Society International Congress

Group Chairs and early career members highlight some of the most interesting findings in the field of paediatrics presented at the 2018 international ERS Congress
