Novel end points for clinical trials in young children with cystic fibrosisCystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease commences early in the disease progression and is the most common cause of mortality.
Research
The Global Lung Initiative 2012 reference values reflect contemporary Australasian spirometryWe aimed to ascertain the fit of the European Respiratory Society Global Lung Initiative 2012 reference ranges to contemporary Australasian spirometric data.

Air travel and the risks of hypoxia in childrenIn infants and children with chronic respiratory disease, hypoxia is a potential risk of aircraft travel.
Research
The all-age spirometry reference ranges reflect contemporary Australasian spirometryAdvances in statistical modelling have allowed the creation of smoothly changing spirometry reference ranges that apply across a wide age range and better...
