Pulmonary diffusing capacity in healthy Caucasian children

Previous studies of pulmonary diffusing capacity in children differed greatly in methodologies; numbers of subjects evaluated, and were performed prior to...

The association between Staphylococcus aureus and subsequent bronchiectasis in children with cystic fibrosis

De novo S. aureus acquisition at age 3 is associated with later bronchiectasis and FEF25-75 in children with CF

Oscillometry and spirometry are not interchangeable when assessing the bronchodilator response in children and young adults born preterm

The European Respiratory Society Oscillometry Taskforce identified that clinical correlates of bronchodilator responses are needed to advance oscillometry in clinical practice. The understanding of bronchodilator-induced oscillometry changes in preterm lung disease is poor. Here we describe a comparison of bronchodilator assessments performed using oscillometry and spirometry in a population born very preterm and explore the relationship between bronchodilator-induced changes in respiratory function and clinical outcomes.

Effect of Albuterol Premedication vs Placebo on the Occurrence of Respiratory Adverse Events in Children Undergoing Tonsillectomies: The REACT Randomized Clinical Trial

Determine whether inhaled albuterol sulfate (salbutamol sulfate) premedication decreases the risk of perioperative respiratory adverse events

Deep or awake removal of laryngeal mask airway in children at risk of respiratory adverse events undergoing tonsillectomy - a randomised controlled trial

We found no evidence for a difference in the timing of the laryngeal mask airways removal on the incidence of respiratory adverse events

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...

ERS technical standard on bronchial challenge testing: General considerations and performance of methacholine challenge tests

This international task force report updates general considerations for bronchial challenge testing and the performance of the methacholine challenge test.

Personalised, machine learning based prediction of asthma in children

This study aims to show that asthma and allergies in individuals can be predicted before it occurs based on individual family history and information on the early environment.

Effects of adopting the new global lung function initiative 2012 reference equations on the interpretation of spirometry

The aim of this study was to document the likely interpretative effects of changing from commonly used current spirometry reference equations to the GLI2012...
