Patient-reported outcome measures for paediatric acute lower respiratory infection studies

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.

Urinary tract infections in children: building a causal model-based decision support tool for diagnosis with domain knowledge and prospective data

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.

Does otitis media in early childhood affect later behavioural development? Results from the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study

The relationship between early life episodes of otitis media and later behavioural development with adjustment for confounders.

Pertussis Disease and Antenatal Vaccine Effectiveness in Australian Children

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.

Teleaudiology services for rehabilitation with hearing aids in adults: A systematic review

This review provides up-to-date evidence for teleaudiology hearing aid services in new and experienced hearing aid users in different practice settings

Status epilepticus outcomes among vaccinated and unvaccinated children: A population-based study

To determine the proportion of first status epilepticus cases that are vaccine-proximate and compare clinical outcomes to non-vaccine-proximate cases.

Cochrane corner: hearing aids for mild to moderate hearing loss in adults

The evidence supports the widespread provision of hearing aids as the first-line clinical management for those seeking help for hearing difficulties

Pertussis immunisation in infancy and atopic outcomes: A protocol for a population-based cohort study using linked administrative data

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.

Antibiotics versus topical antiseptics for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the effectiveness of antibiotics versus antiseptics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.

Topical antiseptics for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the effects of topical antiseptics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media

Whole-cell pertussis vaccine in early infancy for the prevention of allergy in children

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.

Systemic antibiotics for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the effects of systemic antibiotics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.

Whole‐cell pertussis vaccine in early infancy for the prevention of allergy in children

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.

Topical antibiotics for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the effects of topical antibiotics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.

Bridging the gaps in test interpretation of SARS-CoV-2 through Bayesian network modelling

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.

Topical antibiotics with steroids for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the effects of adding a topical steroid to topical antibiotics in the treatment of people with chronic suppurative otitis media

Telehealth for Audiological Management

This chapter focuses on the management of those with hearing impairment, and how tele-audiological tools and approaches may assist to improve service delivery
