Overview

Respiratory diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and hospitalisation in children, yet research often lacks large-scale, high-quality data that reflect the complexity of clinical care and environmental influences. Linking paediatric intensive care data and climate data with respiratory health outcomes offers a powerful opportunity to improve understanding, prevention, and management of childhood respiratory illness. However, knowledge of how to access, interpret, and apply these data sources in paediatric research is limited among many clinicians and researchers.

This webinar will address this gap by showcasing practical examples of how routinely collected children’s health data and environmental datasets can be utilised to improve respiratory health in children.

Topics:

• Use of routine health data in paediatric respiratory research
• Methodological considerations i.e. strengths/limitations of routine clinical data
• Application of climate and environmental data to respiratory health research in children
• Integrating large datasets to inform clinical care and public health
• Opportunities and challenges in using population-based data to advance paediatric respiratory epidemiology
