Despite advances in asthma therapeutics, the burden remains highest in preschool children; therefore, it is critical to identify primary care tools that distinguish preschool children at high risk for burdensome disease for further evaluation.
Bronchiectasis (not related to cystic fibrosis) is a chronic lung disease caused by a range of etiologies but characterized by abnormal airway dilatation, recurrent respiratory symptoms, impaired quality of life and reduced life expectancy.
Recent studies have demonstrated that some children with acute bronchiolitis can be successfully managed using home oxygen therapy.
The aim of this study was to document the likely interpretative effects of changing from commonly used current spirometry reference equations to the GLI2012...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease commences early in the disease progression and is the most common cause of mortality.
We aimed to ascertain the fit of the European Respiratory Society Global Lung Initiative 2012 reference ranges to contemporary Australasian spirometric data.
Prediction bias in spirometry reference equations can arise from combining equations for different age groups,...
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease that impairs quality of life and reduces life expectancy.
Clinical utility of home polysomnography in children with neuromuscular disorders is limited by lack of evidence that sleep-disordered breathing can be reliably identified and inability to diagnose hypoventilation because carbon dioxide is not measured.
There is no published information on preterm children's activities and participation during middle childhood, a time when growth and development are characterised by increasing motor, reasoning, self-regulation, social and executive functioning skills. This study explored the health, activities and participation of children born very preterm during middle childhood (6-9 years) from the perspectives of their parents.
