Preterm birth: Born too soon for the developing airway epitheliumThis review examines the consequences of preterm birth on the airway epithelium and explores the clinical relevance of currently available models

The mask or the needle? Which induction should we go for?For children scheduled for elective surgery, intravenous induction has significant advantages with regards to reduced respiratory adverse events

Respiratory function in healthy Emirati children using forced oscillationsForced oscillation technique measurements were feasible in Emirati school-children. New forced oscillation technique reference equation in Emirati children were derived.

Surgical pleth index: Prediction of postoperative pain in children?It was the aim of this study to define a clinically appropriate SPI target to predict moderate-severe postoperative pain in children.

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
Characterisation of lung function trajectories and associated early-life predictors in an Australian birth cohort studyThere is growing evidence that lung function in early-life predicts later lung function. Adverse events over the lifespan might influence an individual’s lung function trajectory, resulting in poor respiratory health. The aim of this study is to identify early-life risk factors and their impact on lung function trajectories to prevent long-term lung impairments.
Research
Daytime sleepiness and emotional and behavioral disturbances in Prader-Willi syndromeIndividuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) often have excessive daytime sleepiness and emotional/behavioral disturbances. The objective of this study was to examine whether daytime sleepiness was associated with these emotional/behavioral problems, independent of nighttime sleep-disordered breathing, or the duration of sleep.

Quality of life is poorly correlated to lung disease severity in school-aged children with cystic fibrosisThere is no data exclusively on the relationship between health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) and lung disease severity in early school-aged children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Using data from the Australian Respiratory Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) we assessed the relationships between HRQOL, lung function and structure.

Methods used to evaluate the immediate effects of airway clearance techniques in adults with cystic fibrosis: A systematic review and meta-analysisThis review reports on methods used to evaluate airway clearance techniques (ACT) in adults with CF and examined data for evidence of any effect. Sixty-eight studies described ACT in adequate detail and were included in this review.

The EU Child Cohort Network’s core data: establishing a set of findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (FAIR) variablesThe Horizon2020 LifeCycle Project is a cross-cohort collaboration which brings together data from multiple birth cohorts from across Europe and Australia to facilitate studies on the influence of early-life exposures on later health outcomes. A major product of this collaboration has been the establishment of a FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) data resource known as the EU Child Cohort Network. Here we focus on the EU Child Cohort Network's core variables.
