A Prospective Study Investigating the Impact of Obesity on the Immune Response to the Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine in Children and AdolescentsObesity can increase the severity of influenza infection. Data are limited regarding immune responses to influenza vaccination in obese children. We aimed to investigate the impact of obesity on quadrivalent influenza vaccine responses in children.

Integrate, Identify, Intervene (Triple I Project): Identifying opportunities for preventing respiratory infections in children through integrating population-based health and laboratory dataChristopher Hannah Blyth Moore MBBS (Hons) DCH FRACP FRCPA PhD OAM BSc (Hons) GradDipClinEpi PhD Centre Head, Wesfarmers Centre of Vaccines and
The Kids Research Institute Australia is helping scientists across the globe inch their way towards clinical trials which could, at last, provide relief for children and families dealing with CDKL5.

Upper Airway Pathology Contributes to Respiratory Symptoms in Children Born Very PretermThe upper airway may play a role in the respiratory symptoms experienced by some very preterm children and should be considered by clinicians
Research
Excess respiratory mortality and hospitalizations associated with influenza in Australia, 2007-2015Influenza is the most common vaccine-preventable disease in Australia, causing significant morbidity and mortality. We assessed the burden of influenza across all ages in terms of influenza-associated mortality and hospitalizations using national mortality, hospital-discharge and influenza surveillance data.
Research
Lung abnormalities do not influence aerobic capacity in school children born pretermChildren born preterm have impaired lung function and altered lung structure. However, there are conflicting reports on how preterm birth impacts aerobic exercise capacity in childhood. We aimed to investigate how neonatal history and a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) impact the relationship between function and structure of the lung, and aerobic capacity in school-aged children born very preterm.
Research
Official ERS technical standard: Global Lung Function Initiative reference values for static lung volumes in individuals of European ancestryMeasurement of lung volumes across the life course is critical to the diagnosis and management of lung disease. The aim of the study was to use the Global Lung Function Initiative methodology to develop all-age multi-ethnic reference equations for lung volume indices determined using body plethysmography and gas dilution techniques.
Research
Record linkage study of the pathogen-specific burden of respiratory viruses in childrenReliance on hospital discharge diagnosis codes alone will likely underestimate the burden of respiratory viruses
Research
Multiple-breath washout outcomes are sensitive to inflammation and infection in children with cystic fibrosisThe lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection
