FINGERPRINT: FINdinG Early markers of Respiratory disease for survivors of PReterm birth which IdeNtify Treatable traits

This research project will investigate the traits of preterm lung disease, looking into the long-term lung health of children born preterm, aiming to identify traits that could help guide better treatments in the future.

Lung study helps history-making generation get a handle on their health

A lung function study carried out by Dr Shannon Simpson provided the most comprehensive follow-up of very pre-term children of any study so far carried out on the lung health of this vulnerable group.

Global push to eliminate confusion on lung function tests

A global research network has taken another step towards standardising the way doctors interpret commonly used lung function tests.

Trial determines safest airway device for babies in surgery

A groundbreaking WA trial, published in The Lancet, has determined that a laryngeal mask for babies is preferred over endotracheal tube during minor surgeries

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