Reference values for spirometry and their use in test interpretation: A Position Statement from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Respiratory Science

The ANZSRS recommends the adoption of the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) 2012 spirometry reference values throughout Australia and New Zealand

Multiple breath washout cannot be used for tidal breath parameter analysis in infants

There are differences in tidal breathing parameters during multiple breath washout testing with SF6 gas mixture in infants

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,...

A novel, palatable paediatric oral formulation of midazolam: Pharmacokinetics, tolerability, efficacy and safety

We conclude that the novel chocolate-based formulation of midazolam provides improved tolerability while remaining efficacious

Peri-operative adverse respiratory events in children

We screened for risk factors from children's and their families' histories, and assessed the usefulness of common markers of allergic sensitisation of the...

Comparing home polysomnography with transcutaneous CO2 monitoring to laboratory polysomnography in children with neuromuscular disorders

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.

Lung volumes, gas transfer and oscillometry after preterm birth: systematic review and meta-analysis

Small airway and lung parenchymal abnormalities frequently occur following preterm birth but are commonly missed by spirometry. Static lung volumes, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D LCO) and oscillometry provide a more precise characterisation of these conditions. We hypothesised that differences in these measures exist between individuals born preterm and at term and we aimed to systematically review the literature to identify and quantify these differences in lung function.

Cohort profile: The WAACHS Linked Data Study

Despite the volume of accumulating knowledge from prospective Aboriginal cohort studies, longitudinal data describing developmental trajectories in health and well-being is limited.

Research priorities for preterm lung health research across the lifespan: a community priority setting partnership

It is essential to embed patient and public perspectives into every stage of the research journey, including setting the future research agenda. The substantial gaps in our understanding of prematurity-associated lung disease presented a timely opportunity to determine the community's research priorities.
