Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are recommended for capturing meaningful outcomes in clinical trials. The use of PROMs for children with acute lower respiratory infections (ALRIs) has not been systematically reported. We aimed to identify and characterise patient-reported outcomes and PROMs used in paediatric ALRI studies and summarise their measurement properties.
Diagnosing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children in the emergency department (ED) is challenging due to the variable clinical presentations and difficulties in obtaining a urine sample free from contamination.
The relationship between early life episodes of otitis media and later behavioural development with adjustment for confounders.
Population-level studies of severe pertussis extending beyond infancy are sparse, and none in the context of antenatal vaccination. We compared hospitalized pertussis cases from birth to 15 years of age before and after introduction of antenatal immunization.
This review provides up-to-date evidence for teleaudiology hearing aid services in new and experienced hearing aid users in different practice settings
To determine the proportion of first status epilepticus cases that are vaccine-proximate and compare clinical outcomes to non-vaccine-proximate cases.
The evidence supports the widespread provision of hearing aids as the first-line clinical management for those seeking help for hearing difficulties
The burden of IgE-mediated food allergy in Australian born children is reported to be among the highest globally. This illness shares risk factors and frequently coexists with asthma, one of the most common noncommunicable diseases of childhood.
To assess the effectiveness of antibiotics versus antiseptics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.
To assess the effects of topical antiseptics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media
Atopic diseases are the most common chronic conditions of childhood. The apparent rise in food anaphylaxis in young children over the past three decades is of particular concern, owing to the lack of proven prevention strategies other than the timely introduction of peanut and egg.
To assess the effects of systemic antibiotics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.

To assess the effects of topical antibiotics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.
In the absence of an established gold standard, an understanding of the testing cycle from individual exposure to test outcome report is required to guide the correct interpretation of SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcriptase real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results and optimise the testing processes.
To assess the effects of adding a topical steroid to topical antibiotics in the treatment of people with chronic suppurative otitis media
We investigate the relationship between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease risk factors.
This chapter focuses on the management of those with hearing impairment, and how tele-audiological tools and approaches may assist to improve service delivery
