Interventions for treating distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) in cystic fibrosis (2021)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, F. J., Green, J., & Carroll, W. (2021). Interventions for treating distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) in cystic fibrosis. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD012798.pub3

BACKGROUND: Cystic fibrosis is the most common life-limiting autosomal recessive genetic disorder in white populations. Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) is an important morbidity in cystic fibrosis. It is the result of the accumulation o...

Why are children with asthma bullied? A risk factor analysis. (2021)
Journal Article
Gilchrist. (2021). Why are children with asthma bullied? A risk factor analysis. Archives of Disease in Childhood, https://doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2021-321641

The links between bullying and asthma have not been explored in children. We wanted to determine the child/parent factors and attitudes associated with asthma-related bullying. Individual child/parent responses of children with asthma (N=943) from th... Read More about Why are children with asthma bullied? A risk factor analysis..

Managing chronic wet cough in children: another piece of the puzzle. (2021)

Chronic wet cough is the hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in older people and bronchiectasis in adults and older children. In young children, the commonest cause of chronic wet cough is protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) but there...

Longitudinal assessment of lung clearance index to monitor disease progression in children and adults with cystic fibrosis. (2021)
Journal Article
Horsley, A. R., Belcher, J., Bayfield, K., Bianco, B., Cunningham, S., Fullwood, C., …Gilchrist, F. J. (2021). Longitudinal assessment of lung clearance index to monitor disease progression in children and adults with cystic fibrosis. Thorax, 77(4), https://doi.org/10.1136/thoraxjnl-2021-216928

BACKGROUND: Lung clearance index (LCI) is a valuable research tool in cystic fibrosis (CF) but clinical application has been limited by technical challenges and uncertainty about how to interpret longitudinal change. In order to help inform clinical... Read More about Longitudinal assessment of lung clearance index to monitor disease progression in children and adults with cystic fibrosis..

Single-centre survey of parents regarding the hidden burden of paediatric flexible bronchoscopy. (2021)
Journal Article
Gilchrist. (2021). Single-centre survey of parents regarding the hidden burden of paediatric flexible bronchoscopy. BMJ Paediatrics Open, e000991 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjpo-2020-000991

Although paediatric flexible bronchoscopy is safe with relatively few side effects, parents frequently report an associated burden. To assess this, we undertook 25 semi-structured interviews with the parents of children who had recently undergone thi...
