Analysis of worldwide research shows that despite advances in neonatal care, preterm babies have lower lung function throughout their life.

This research project will investigate the traits of preterm lung disease, looking into the long-term lung health of children born preterm, aiming to identify traits that could help guide better treatments in the future.

To obtain comprehensive data on lung structure and function in mid-childhood from survivors of preterm birth.

Lung function trajectories are impaired in survivors of very preterm birth

To assess whether lung volume and ventilation inhomogeneity in preterm infants at 15-18 months corrected age

Natasha, who is a participant in the West Australian Lung Health in Prematurity (WALHIP) study, this week became the first person to receive a lung health assessment using new state-of-the-art lung function testing equipment at Perth Children’s Hospital.

A new study has found a common asthma drug is effective for some very premature babies who go on to suffer from lung complications.

A The Kids Research Institute Australia study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health has found that survivors of very preterm birth face declining lung function

Culturally secure intervention to facilitate medical follow up for Aboriginal children, after being hospitalised with chest infections, have proven to improve long-term lung health outcomes.

This paper is an introduction to a series of articles about improved measurement of lung function in patients with chronic lung disease.
