Prediction models for the development of COPD: A systematic review

We aimed to systematically review and assess the performance of all published models that predicted development of COPD

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

Neurodevelopmental outcome at 5 years of age after general anaesthesia or awake-regional anaesthesia in infancy

Slightly less than 1 h of general anaesthesia in early infancy does not alter neurodevelopmental outcome at age 5 years

Respiratory function in healthy Emirati children using forced oscillations

Forced oscillation technique measurements were feasible in Emirati school-children. New forced oscillation technique reference equation in Emirati children were derived.

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

Deep or awake removal of laryngeal mask airway in children at risk of respiratory adverse events undergoing tonsillectomy - a randomised controlled trial

We found no evidence for a difference in the timing of the laryngeal mask airways removal on the incidence of respiratory adverse events

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

Key paediatric messages from the 2018 European Respiratory Society International Congress

Group Chairs and early career members highlight some of the most interesting findings in the field of paediatrics presented at the 2018 international ERS Congress

The mask or the needle? Which induction should we go for?

For children scheduled for elective surgery, intravenous induction has significant advantages with regards to reduced respiratory adverse events
