Pre- and postnatal influences on preschool mental health: a large-scale cohort study (2008)

Robinson, M., Oddy, Wendy, Li, J., Kendall, Garth, De Klerk, N., Silburn, Sven, ...

Background : Methodological challenges such as confounding have made the study of the early determinants of mental health morbidity problematic. This study aims to address these challenges...

Correlation of forced oscillation technique in preschool children with cystic fibrosis with pulmonary inflammation

Brennan, S, Hall, G, Horak, F, Moeller, A, Pitrez, P, Franzmann, A, ...

Background: Lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) is established in early childhood with recurrent bacterial infections and inflammation. Using spirometry, the effect of this early lung damage cannot...

Describing the phenotype in Rett syndrome using a population database

Colvin, L, Fyfe, S, Leonard, S, Schiavello, T, Ellaway, C, De Klerk, N, ...

Background: Mutations in the MECP2 gene have been recently identified as the cause of Rett syndrome, prompting research into genotype-phenotype relations. However, despite these genetic advances...

Reid, A, De Klerk, N, Ambrosini, G, Olsen, N, Pang, S, Musk, A

Aims: To examine the hypothesis that people with benign pleural disease or asbestosis have an increased risk of malignant mesothelioma beyond that attributable to their degree of asbestos exposure.

The effect of asbestosis on lung cancer risk beyond the dose related effect of asbestos alone

Reid, A, De Klerk, N, Ambrosini, G, Olsen, N, Pang, S, Berry, G, ...
