Structured light plethysmography measures asynchronous breathing patterns in patients with acute stroke (Meeting Abstract) (2016)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, & Roffe. (2016). Structured light plethysmography measures asynchronous breathing patterns in patients with acute stroke (Meeting Abstract). European Respiratory Journal, https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.congress-2016.PA4156

Background The extent of respiratory compromise following a stroke depends on any pre-existing respiratory illness and the aetiology, location and extent of the lesion. Acquired respiratory infection in subsequent days may alter respiratory function...

Journal Article
Gilchrist. (2016). Assessing chronic cough in children. Paediatrics and Child Health, 273-275. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paed.2016.03.002

Cough is a protective physiological reflex that aids the clearance of airway secretions and aspirated material. As such, it is normal to cough. Coughing becomes abnormal when the frequency or severity impacts on the child's ability to eat, sleep, pla... Read More about Assessing chronic cough in children.

A review of prednisolone prescribing for children with acute asthma in the UK (2016)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, F. J., Ahmad, A. N., Batchelor, H. K., Marriott, J. F., & Lenney, W. (2016). A review of prednisolone prescribing for children with acute asthma in the UK. Journal of Asthma, 53(6), 563 -566. https://doi.org/10.3109/02770903.2015.1118498

INTRODUCTION: Worldwide asthma guidelines recommend short courses of oral prednisolone in children with acute exacerbations generating high prescription numbers. There is a paucity of evidence to inform the optimal dose and course duration. This has... Read More about A review of prednisolone prescribing for children with acute asthma in the UK.

A systematic review of early life factors which adversely affect subsequent lung function (2016)
Journal Article
Kouzouna, A., Gilchrist, F., Ball, V., Kyriacou, T., Henderson, J., Pandyan, A., & Lenney, W. (2016). A systematic review of early life factors which adversely affect subsequent lung function. Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 20, 67-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prrv.2016.03.003

It has been known for many years that multiple early life factors can adversely affect lung function and future respiratory health. This is the first systematic review to attempt to analyse all these factors simultaneously. We adhered to strict a pri...
