        High success rate of lung function testing in healthy, unsedated 1- and 2-year-old South African children

        Lung function measures in a health, unsedated 1- and 2-year-old children in a South African birth cohort study ...

        Determinants of lung function development from birth to age 5 years: an interrupted time series analysis of a South African birth cohort

        Early life is a key period that determines long-term health. Lung development in childhood predicts lung function attained in adulthood and morbidity and mortality across the life course. We aimed to assess the effect of early-life lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and associated risk factors on lung development from birth to school age in a South African birth cohort. ...

        Monitoring disease progression in childhood bronchiectasis

        Bronchiectasis (not related to cystic fibrosis) is a chronic lung disease caused by a range of etiologies but characterized by abnormal airway dilatation, recurrent respiratory symptoms, impaired quality of life and reduced life expectancy. ...

        Lung abscess: 14 years of experience in a tertiary paediatric hospital

        Lung abscess is a rare condition in paediatrics with a paucity of literature. Intravenous antibiotics is the main therapy; however interventional radiological approaches have led to the use of percutaneous drainage. Surgery is reserved for the management of complications. ...

        Side effects of medications used to treat childhood interstitial lung disease

        Interstitial lung disease in children comprises a range of different rare diseases ...

        The effect of azithromycin on structural lung disease in infants with cystic fibrosis (COMBAT CF): a phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial

        Structural lung disease and neutrophil-dominated airway inflammation is present from 3 months of age in children diagnosed with cystic fibrosis after newborn screening. We hypothesised that azithromycin, given three times weekly to infants with cystic fibrosis from diagnosis until age 36 months, would reduce the extent of structural lung disease as captured on chest CT scans. ...

        Quality of life is poorly correlated to lung disease severity in school-aged children with cystic fibrosis

        There 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. ...

        Progression of early structural lung disease in young children with cystic fibrosis assessed using CT

        Cross-sectional studies implicate neutrophilic inflammation and pulmonary infection as risk factors for early structural lung disease in infants and young... ...

        Research

        The clinical utility of lung clearance index in early cystic fibrosis lung disease is not impacted by the number of multiple-breath washout trials

        This study aimed to determine if relationships between LCI and clinical outcomes of CF lung disease differ when only two acceptable MBW trials are assessed. ...

        Effect of posture on lung ventilation distribution and associations with structure in children with cystic fibrosis

        Background: We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease. ...
