Variants associated with HHIP expression have sex-differential effects on lung functionLung function is highly heritable and differs between the sexes throughout life. However, little is known about sex-differential genetic effects on lung function. We aimed to conduct the first genome-wide genotype-by-sex interaction study on lung function to identify genetic effects that differ between males and females.

Does machine learning have a role in the prediction of asthma in children?Asthma is the most common chronic lung disease in childhood. There has been a significant worldwide effort to develop tools/methods to identify children's risk for asthma as early as possible for preventative and early management strategies. Unfortunately, most childhood asthma prediction tools using conventional statistical models have modest accuracy, sensitivity, and positive predictive value.

PREDICT CF: Assessing the role of lung clearance index in predicting disease progression in children with cystic fibrosisThere is increasing evidence that the assessment of ventilation distribution using the multiple breath washout (MBW) technique is sensitive to changes in disease status of children with cystic fibrosis.

Standardization of Spirometry 2019 Update. An Official American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society Technical StatementStandards and consensus recommendations are presented for manufacturers, clinicians, operators, and researchers

A program aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of a chronic wet cough in Aboriginal children has been extended to 14 remote and regional towns in Western Australia - thanks to a partnership between The Kids Research Institute Australia and Cystic Fibrosis WA.
