Timeliness and factors associated with rotavirus vaccine uptake among Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children: A record linkage cohort studyAboriginal children are at greater risk of rotavirus disease than non-Aboriginal children and delayed vaccine receipt is substantially higher
Research
Australian Aboriginal children have higher hospitalization rates for otitis media but lower surgical procedures than non-Aboriginal childrenAboriginal children and children from lower socio-economic backgrounds were over-represented with OM-related hospitalizations but had fewer TTIs
Research
Oscillometry and spirometry are not interchangeable when assessing the bronchodilator response in children and young adults born pretermThe 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.

Deep or awake removal of laryngeal mask airway in children at risk of respiratory adverse events undergoing tonsillectomy - a randomised controlled trialWe found no evidence for a difference in the timing of the laryngeal mask airways removal on the incidence of respiratory adverse events

Effect of Albuterol Premedication vs Placebo on the Occurrence of Respiratory Adverse Events in Children Undergoing Tonsillectomies: The REACT Randomized Clinical TrialDetermine whether inhaled albuterol sulfate (salbutamol sulfate) premedication decreases the risk of perioperative respiratory adverse events
Research
Multiple-breath washout outcomes are sensitive to inflammation and infection in children with cystic fibrosisThe lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection

Determinants of early-life lung function in African infantsTo assess the determinants of early lung function in African infants.

Kids Easy Breathing Study KickstartsThe Kids Easy Breathing Study kickstarts this month, with the aim of finding out how the airway surface is different between infants who develop chronic lung disease after contracting bronchiolitis compared with those who don’t.

Spring-infusors: How a simple and small solution can create king-sized complexityThe aims of the study were to investigate family and hospital staff views about the use of spring-infusor devices for administration of intravenous antibiotic medications, to examine if the device is acceptable and feasible and to map a process for implementation.
