We propose the existence of clinical phenotypes of prematurity-associated lung disease, which can be described using a multidimensional “wheel-and-spoke” model. This includes phenotype profiles of a number of traits (spokes) which can be expanded or discarded with new evidence.

Did you see the @7NewsPerth story about a study led by @DrLungSimpson which found a common asthma drug is effective for some very #premature babies who go on to suffer from lung complications? Thanks to 10yo Keelan for sharing his story 👉 https://t.co/SZdvLQ1B0J @telethonkids

Great article on misogyny in academia To our male colleagues, please read this - many times I don’t think we realise the impact of comments Many ideas to improve this issue too

Check out our newly published RCT- lots of hard work from my team! 12 weeks of ICS improved lung function in children (6-12 years) born <32w GA only modestly, but ~20% had clinically relevant improvements in FEV1. Good for some kids born very preterm https://t.co/XwFQkPkEai
