Asthma affects about half a million Australian children and is one of the most common reasons why kids need to see a doctor or go to emergency.

A study led by researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia has shown that electronic cigarettes can cause lung damage.

New research from Perth’s The Kids Research Institute Australia shows that babies born premature continue to have lung problems well into childhood.

Researchers are urging caution in the use of a widely accepted test for diagnosing asthma, after their study found it may not be accurate in some settings.

Almost 50 per cent of preschool children will experience at least one episode of wheeze, a whistling sound produced by the airways during breathing.

The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers are investigating whether a simple urine test could predict whether young children with wheezing symptoms will go on to develop asthma.

There is growing evidence that lung function in early-life predicts later lung function. Adverse events over the lifespan might influence an individual’s lung function trajectory, resulting in poor respiratory health. The aim of this study is to identify early-life risk factors and their impact on lung function trajectories to prevent long-term lung impairments.
