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

Format

One-hour webinar format: 45 minutes for presentation, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session.

Learning outcomes

Following this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Describe the role of large-scale clinical and environmental datasets in advancing paediatric respiratory research.
• Identify key opportunities and challenges when using routine health and environmental data in epidemiological studies.
• Apply principles from the presented case studies to design or interpret research projects in paediatric respiratory health.
• Recognise how data-driven research can inform clinical practice and policy for children with respiratory conditions.

CME credit

An application for accreditation of this webinar has been made to the European Board for Accreditation in Pneumology (EBAP) for 1 CME credit per 1-hour attendance. If accredited, the CME credit will be granted upon attendance of at least 60 minutes during the live webinar only.

What is a webinar?

A webinar closely simulates a lecture-based teaching experience. The speaker can interact with the audience, just as in a classroom setting. During the webinar, you will be asked to share your opinion on issues related to the topic using interactive polls.

All participants will be able to hear the lecturer and see the slides throughout the presentation. As a participant you will be able to pose questions or discuss ideas with the other participants via the text chat facility and the speaker will respond to the questions via the microphone.
