Background
The extent to which biomarkers of asthma activity persist in spontaneous asthma remission and whether such markers are associated with future respiratory outcomes remained unclear. We investigated the association between sub‐clinical inflammation in adults with spontaneous asthma remission and future asthma relapse and lung function decline.
Methods
The Tasmanian Longitudinal Health...
Background
There is limited information on risk factors for eczema in adults. Recent evidence suggests that air pollution may be associated with increased incidence of eczema in adults. We aimed to assess this possible association.
Methods
Ambient air pollution exposures (distance from a major road, nitrogen dioxide [NO2], fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm [PM2.5]) were...
Background
The association between grass pollen exposure and early markers of asthma exacerbations such as lung function changes and increase in airway inflammation is limited. We investigated the associations between short‐term grass pollen exposure and lung function and airway inflammation in a community‐based sample, and whether any such associations were modified by current asthma, current hay...
Background
Exposure to high levels of pollen in infancy is a risk factor for allergic respiratory diseases in later childhood, but effects on lung function are not fully understood. We aim to examine associations between grass pollen exposure in the first months of life and lung function at 12 and 18 years, and explore potential modification.
Methods
Using the Melbourne Atopy Cohort Study, a birth...
Background
The world's most catastrophic and deadly thunderstorm asthma epidemic struck Melbourne, Australia, on November 21, 2016.
Objective
Among thunderstorm‐affected patients presenting to emergency rooms (ERs), we investigated risk factors predicting severe attacks requiring admission to hospital.
Methods
Thunderstorm‐affected patients were identified from ER records at the eight major Melbourne...
