Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases the risk of perioperative adverse events in children. While polysomnography (PSG) remains the reference standard for OSA diagnosis, oximetry is a valuable screening tool. The traditional practice is the manual analysis of desaturation clusters derived from a tabletop device using the McGill oximetry score. However, automated analysis of wearable oximetry data can be an alternative. This study investigated the accuracy of wrist-worn oximetry with automated analysis as a preoperative OSA screening tool.

The long-term cardiopulmonary outcomes following preterm birth during the surfactant era remain unclear. Respiratory symptoms, particularly exertional symptoms, are common in preterm children. Therefore, cardiopulmonary exercise testing may provide insights into the pathophysiology driving exertional respiratory symptoms in those born preterm. This review aims to outline the current knowledge of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the assessment of children born preterm in the surfactant era.

Exploring whether urinary ferritin can be used as an alternative biomarker for measuring iron status in young children over blood draws.

This document updates the 2005 European Respiratory Society (ERS) and American Thoracic Society (ATS) technical standard for the measurement of lung volumes. The 2005 document integrated the recommendations of an ATS/ERS task force with those from an earlier National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute workshop that led to the publication of background papers between 1995 and 1999 and a consensus workshop report with more in-depth descriptions and discussion.

For children scheduled for elective surgery, intravenous induction has significant advantages with regards to reduced respiratory adverse events

Research shows at least a third of newborns receive formula in hospital, a practice shown to be associated with an increased risk of cow’s milk allergy.

This Statistical Analysis Plan details the statistical procedures to be applied for the analysis of data for the multicenter electroencephalography study

Slightly less than 1 h of general anaesthesia in early infancy does not alter neurodevelopmental outcome at age 5 years

Forced oscillation technique measurements were feasible in Emirati school-children. New forced oscillation technique reference equation in Emirati children were derived.

Understanding how families engage with screen technologies and how it may influence child development

Expiratory flow limitation is more prevalent in children born preterm with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and is associated with airway obstruction

We found no evidence for a difference in the timing of the laryngeal mask airways removal on the incidence of respiratory adverse events

The aim of this review is to highlight the risk factors that may contribute to increased susceptibility to viral respiratory infections among preterm infants

This fellowship will assist Associate Professor Palmer in her large-scale food allergy prevention trials.

Miss Braddon will be awarded with $15,000 to go towards her research project, DreamStart

This study aims to examine how a Mediterranean diet and exercise in pregnancy impacts on neonatal body fat composition at birth and weight at one year of age.

This research aims to examine subfertility in a population pregnancy cohort, analysing the underlying differences between sub fertile couples who conceive naturally, sub fertile couples who conceive using ART or non-IVF, and fertile couples.

This study examines the impact of nutrition-related maternal, infant and childhood health outcomes and healthcare utilisation.

ORIGINS sub-project, Flourishing in Fatherhood, has placed runner up in Ramsay Health Care's research-month competition!

The BioMood project will study how following a Mediterranean diet during pregnancy affects the gut microbiome, metabolism, and inflammation, with the expectation that it will promote a healthier microbiome and better mental health.
