Showing results for "lung disease preterm"
The Foundations of Lung Disease Team is focused on improving the diagnosis, treatment, and lifelong care of childhood lung disease.
Research
WALHIP Exercise StudyWhen babies are born early or ‘preterm’ their tiny bodies are put under a lot of stress that can result in health problems in later life.
Research
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
Inhaled corticosteroids to improve lung function in children (aged 6–12 years) who were born very preterm (PICSI): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trialDespite the substantial burden of lung disease throughout childhood in children who were born very preterm, there are no evidence-based interventions to improve lung health beyond the neonatal period. We tested the hypothesis that inhaled corticosteroid improves lung function in this population.
Research
Increasing diversity within the Global Lung Function InitiativeThe Global Lung Function Initiative has worked to develop all‐age, multi‐ethnic reference equations for the major clinical lung function tests
Research
The global lung function initiative (GLI) network: Bringing the world’s respiratory reference values togetherThe Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) Network has become the largest resource for reference values for routine lung function testing ever assembled.
Research
Association between early respiratory viral infections and structural lung disease in infants with cystic fibrosisInfants 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.

Pulmonary Gas Exchange Improves over the First Year in Preterm Infants with and without Bronchopulmonary DysplasiaRight shift of the peripheral oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpO2) versus inspired oxygen pressure (PIO2) curve is a sensitive marker of pulmonary gas exchange. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on gas exchange and right-to-left shunt in the neonatal period, and its evolution over the first year of life.

Lung function in African infants: A pilot studyInfant lung function (ILF) testing may provide useful information about lung growth and susceptibility to respiratory disease.

Vitamin A supplementation in very-preterm or very-low-birth-weight infants to prevent morbidity and mortality: A systematic review and meta-Analysis of randomized trialsA previous systematic review showed that intramuscular vitamin A supplementation reduced the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants. However, more recent studies have questioned this finding.
