The results of the Kwinana Children's Health Respiratory Study have today been sent to the nearly 600 participating children from almost 500 families
Our job is to find the answers. It's helping us change kids' lives. See the "why?"s we're asking and answering.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by small airway disease; but central airways may also be affected. We hypothesized that airway resistance estimated from computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methodology in infants with CF was higher than controls and that early airway inflammation in infants with CF is associated with airway resistance.

ORIGINS, the largest longitudinal cohort study of its kind in Australia, delivered in partnership between The Kids Research Institute Australia and Joondalup Health Campus, has received $1.5 million funding from the Minderoo Foundation.
Here we recognise donors who have made cumulative gifts of $10,000 and above to contribute to children's health research at The Kids Research Institute Australia.
Infants 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.
Otitis media (OM) is one of the most common infections in young children, arising from bacterial and/or viral infection of the middle ear. Globally, Streptococcus pneumoniae and non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) are the predominant bacterial otopathogens. Importantly, common upper respiratory viruses are increasingly recognized contributors to the polymicrobial pathogenesis of OM.
This sub-project aims to understand why some people develop long-term health problems after COVID-19 and to identify biological markers that can help doctors predict who is most at risk and how to treat them.
Measurement of lung volumes across the life course is critical to the diagnosis and management of lung disease. The aim of the study was to use the Global Lung Function Initiative methodology to develop all-age multi-ethnic reference equations for lung volume indices determined using body plethysmography and gas dilution techniques.
