Low Rates of Growth in Paediatric Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Recipients and Effects on Spirometry

Purpose null A retrospective study of paediatric lung and heart-lung transplant (LTx) recipients to assess growth and its relationship with spirometric indices. null null null Methods null Analyses of relationships between serially assessed age, height, weight, forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) were undertaken. Serial spirometry at identical heights were analysed as means. Percentile height-for-age was...
