Early onset of otitis media is a strong predictor of subsequent disease in urban Aboriginal infants: Djaalinj Waakinj cohort studyAustralian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children in rural/remote areas suffer high rates of persistent otitis media (OM) from early infancy. We aimed to determine the proportion of Aboriginal infants living in an urban area who have OM and investigate associated risk factors.

Guiding practice principles for clinicians who work with Indigenous peopleCulturally safe healthcare approaches are important to improve outcomes of Indigenous people. Non-Indigenous clinicians are often ill-prepared to provide such healthcare. The NHMRC Centre for Research Excellence (CRE) especially for First Nations Children has been studying for several years how to improve clinical care for Indigenous children with respiratory disease in hospital, clinic, urban, rural and remote settings.

Single-breath washout and association with structural lung disease in children with cystic fibrosisAcinar ventilation inhomogeneity measured by single-breath washout was not associated with structural lung disease on CT
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
The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.
