        Preterm Paediatric Inhaled Corticosteroids Intervention (PICSI)

        Understanding if ongoing inflammation in the lungs contributes to the poor lung health experienced by some children who were born preterm. ...

        Lung abnormalities do not influence aerobic capacity in school children born preterm

        Children born preterm have impaired lung function and altered lung structure. However, there are conflicting reports on how preterm birth impacts aerobic exercise capacity in childhood. We aimed to investigate how neonatal history and a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) impact the relationship between function and structure of the lung, and aerobic capacity in school-aged children born very preterm. ...

        Oscillometry and spirometry are not interchangeable when assessing the bronchodilator response in children and young adults born preterm

        The European Respiratory Society Oscillometry Taskforce identified that clinical correlates of bronchodilator responses are needed to advance oscillometry in clinical practice. The understanding of bronchodilator-induced oscillometry changes in preterm lung disease is poor. Here we describe a comparison of bronchodilator assessments performed using oscillometry and spirometry in a population born very preterm and explore the relationship between bronchodilator-induced changes in respiratory function and clinical outcomes. ...

        Collecting exhaled breath condensate from non-ventilated preterm-born infants: a modified method

        Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collection is a non-invasive, safe method for measurement of biomarkers in patients with lung disease. Other methods of obtaining samples from the lungs, such as bronchoalveolar lavage, are invasive and require anaesthesia/sedation in neonates and infants. EBC is particularly appealing for assessing biomarkers in preterm-born infants, a population at risk of ongoing lung disease. ...

        Elevated leukotriene B4 and 8-isoprostane in exhaled breath condensate from preterm-born infants

        Inflammation and oxidative stress play a key role in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), possibly contributing to persistent respiratory morbidity after preterm birth. We aimed to assess if inflammatory markers were elevated in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) of infants born very prematurely (< 32 weeks gestation) at 12-16 corrected months of age, and if increased levels were associated with BPD diagnosis and respiratory morbidity. ...

        Increased prevalence of expiratory flow limitation during exercise in children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia

        Expiratory flow limitation is more prevalent in children born preterm with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and is associated with airway obstruction ...

        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 ...

        Altered lung structure and function in mid-childhood survivors of very preterm birth

        To obtain comprehensive data on lung structure and function in mid-childhood from survivors of preterm birth. ...

        Risk factors for poorer respiratory outcomes in adolescents and young adults born preterm

        The respiratory outcomes for adult survivors of preterm birth in the postsurfactant era are wide-ranging with prognostic factors, especially those encountered after the neonatal period, poorly understood. ...

        Upper Airway Pathology Contributes to Respiratory Symptoms in Children Born Very Preterm

        The upper airway may play a role in the respiratory symptoms experienced by some very preterm children and should be considered by clinicians ...

        The impact of respiratory viruses on lung health after preterm birth

        The aim of this review is to highlight the risk factors that may contribute to increased susceptibility to viral respiratory infections among preterm infants ...
