Respiratory function and symptoms in young preterm children in the contemporary eraPreterm children have worse lung function than healthy controls
Research
Elevated leukotriene B4 and 8-isoprostane in exhaled breath condensate from preterm-born infantsInflammation and oxidative stress play a key role in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), possibly contributing to persistent respiratory morbidity after preterm birth. We aimed to assess if inflammatory markers were elevated in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) of infants born very prematurely (< 32 weeks gestation) at 12-16 corrected months of age, and if increased levels were associated with BPD diagnosis and respiratory morbidity.
News & Events
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.
A new study is helping to identify treatment options to improve the lung function of premature babies, after it was determined survivors of preterm birth were at risk of declining lung health.
The Foundations of Lung Disease Team investigates lung growth and development through infancy, childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, in health and in chronic lung disease, and the impact of preterm birth on lung health outcomes.
Research
Increased prevalence of expiratory flow limitation during exercise in children with bronchopulmonary dysplasiaExpiratory flow limitation is more prevalent in children born preterm with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and is associated with airway obstruction
Research
Lung function trajectories throughout childhood in survivors of very preterm birth: a longitudinal cohort studyLung function trajectories are impaired in survivors of very preterm birth
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
Early detection of lung function abnormalities in young children with cystic fibrosisIn this review, we have examined the role of lung function testing in infants and preschool children with CF.
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.
