What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
There are many techniques that can allow for the quantification of lung function in children; some are being used clinically and others are under development. Many of these tools are available at BC Children's Hospital. This registry study will act as a central repository for the results of traditional and novel pulmonary function tests done at BC Children's Hospital to allow for future analysis.
