Lung Function and Respiratory Diseases in Children and Infants
This special issue belongs to the section "Pediatric Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue dedicated to exploring lung function in pediatric patients with respiratory diseases.
Respiratory diseases are the main causes of global mortality and morbidity. Lung function testing plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and monitoring of pediatric lung diseases. Children with respiratory diseases may maintain impaired lung function trajectories into adulthood. Attaining correct lung function in early life is important for respiratory health, and decreased values in childhood may predict higher mortality later in life. A comprehensive analysis of this issue is important to develop strategies for respiratory diseases.
