Antibiotics for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections in children with neurodisability: Systematic review

Determine the optimal antibiotic choice for lower respiratory tract infection in children with neurodisability. 

Prediction of peri-operative adverse respiratory events in children: The role of exhaled nitric oxide.

Increased levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) may be a more objective predictor in identifying children at higher risk of peri-operative adverse respiratory...

Association between early respiratory viral infections and structural lung disease in infants with cystic fibrosis

Infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop structural lung disease early in life, and viral infections are associated with progressive lung disease. We hypothesized that the presence of respiratory viruses would be associated with structural lung disease on computed tomography (CT) of the chest in infants with CF.

Respiratory impedance and bronchodilator responsiveness in healthy children aged 2-13 years

There is limited information on changes in FOT outcomes in healthy children beyond the preschool years and the level of bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR)...

Lung health of Aboriginal children hospitalised with chest infections improved following co-designed intervention

A co-designed and culturally secure intervention to improve medical follow-up for Aboriginal children hospitalised with acute chest infections resulted in higher follow-up rates and improved longer-term lung health outcomes for children.

Impact of lung disease on respiratory impedance in young children with cystic fibrosis

The present study investigated whether lung function measured by forced oscillation technique would be impaired in the presence of infection,...
