Geographical Differences and Temporal Improvements in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second of Preterm-Born Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysisAlthough preterm birth is associated with later deficits in lung function, there is a paucity of information on geographical differences and whether improvements occur over time, especially after surfactant was introduced.

Limiting long term lung damage in preterm babiesWith premature babies facing lung problems, researchers with the Children’s Lung Health group are working to identify ways to improve the long-term impact.
Our researchers want to know what causes chronic lung disease in babies born very preterm. We can learn more about what's happening in the lungs by measuring the air that babies breathe out.
Research
Simplified bedside assessment of pulmonary gas exchange in very preterm infants at 36 weeks' postmenstrual ageWe aimed to develop and validate a prediction table for a simplified measure of rightward shift of the fetal oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpO2) versus inspired oxygen pressure (P IO2) curve as an objective marker of lung disease severity in very preterm infants, independent of unit altitude or oxygen prescribing policies.
