Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Children with Down’s Syndrome (DS) are prone to respiratory tract infections (RTIs), yet there is little evidence to guide clinical practice. AIMS: For children with and without DS, this thesis aims to use routinely collected data to identify RTI-related healthcare utilisation, those most at risk of RTI-related healthcare utilisation, and the effects of antibiotics in preventing RTI-related hospitalisation. METHODS: A systematic review of existing interventions and a retrospective cohort study based on routinely collected primary and secondary care data (CALIBER). KEY FINDINGS: The

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection is common among young children. Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is a risk factor of severe illness and hospitalization.

Computerised respiratory sound analysis (CORSA) is a simple method to detect and characterise Normal Respiratory Sounds (NRS) and Adventitious Respiratory Sounds (ARS).

Abstract:
Upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) are one of the most common illnesses affecting the general population and particularly athletes, often reducing the individual capacity of physical performance. Epidemiological data suggest that intensive exercise, training and competition may increase susceptibility to respiratory infections. On the other hand, some studies defend that less active subjects may reduce their risk of URTI by engaging in moderate exercise training. Nevertheless, reports are not unanimous and frequently contained various limitations. The higher incidence of infections in e

Abstract:
The human nasopharynx is a reservoir of both commensal and pathogenic bacteria that can be easily transmitted from one individual to another. It has long been hypothesised that host commensal flora give protection from carriage of pathogens and invasive disease. The commensal Neisseria lactamica has previously been associated with protection against the closely related human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis, which is thought to be due to the acquisition of cross-reactive immunity to N. meningitidis. The objective of this study was to identify the extent of protection by N. lactamica in the abse

The threat to public health from antibiotic resistance has increased, with growing evidence that antibiotic use is a major driver of resistance. This has led to campaigns to reduce prescribing of antibiotics by GPs, particular for respiratory tract infections (RTIs). These are among the most common reasons for prescribing antibiotics in primary care, in spite of the fact that there is evidence that most RTIs recover at a similar rate without antibiotic treatment, rarely resulting in complications if untreated.
