Prediction models for the development of COPD: A systematic review

We aimed to systematically review and assess the performance of all published models that predicted development of COPD

Increasing diversity within the Global Lung Function Initiative

The Global Lung Function Initiative has worked to develop all‐age, multi‐ethnic reference equations for the major clinical lung function tests

Persistent and progressive long-term lung disease in survivors of preterm birth

This review aims to summarise what is known about the long-term pulmonary outcomes of contemporary preterm birth

Neurodevelopmental outcome at 5 years of age after general anaesthesia or awake-regional anaesthesia in infancy

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

Perception of pediatric pain: A comparison of postoperative pain assessments between child, parent, nurse, and independent observer

Differences in the assessment of pediatric pain between children, parents, nurses, and independent observers in the acute postoperative setting

Crowding and other strong predictors of upper respiratory tract carriage of otitis media-related

We investigated predictors of nasopharyngeal carriage in Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children.

Influence of secular trends and sample size on reference equations for lung function tests

The aim of our study was to determine the contribution of secular trends and sample size to lung function reference equations, and establish the number...

Prolonged use of wind or brass instruments does not alter lung function in musicians

Respiratory function impacts on musical expression for wind/brass (W/B) musicians. Investigation of musicians' respiratory health to date has rarely...

Novel end points for clinical trials in young children with cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease commences early in the disease progression and is the most common cause of mortality.

Age- and height-based prediction bias in spirometry reference equations

Prediction bias in spirometry reference equations can arise from combining equations for different age groups,...
