Acute bronchiolitis in infants, a review
Øymar, Knut; Skjerven, Håvard Ove; Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-03)Acute viral bronchiolitis is one of the most common medical emergency situations in infancy, and physicians caring for acutely ill children will regularly be faced with this condition. In this article we present a summary ... -
Airway symptoms and atopy in young children prescribed asthma medications: A large‐scale cohort study
Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun; Dalen, Ingvild; Karlstad, Øystein; Eide, Geir Egil; Magnus, Maria Christine; Nystad, Wenche; Øymar, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Diagnosing asthma and deciding treatment are difficult in young children. An inappropriate and too high prescription rate of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) is suggested, but how airway symptoms are associated with prescriptions ... -
The associations between weight-related anthropometrics during childhood and lung function in late childhood: a retrospective cohort study
Byberg, Kristine Kjer; Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun; Eide, Geir Egil; Forman, Michele R.; Júlíusson, Pétur Benedikt; Øymar, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-19)Background: An association between body weight in childhood and subsequent lung function and asthma has been suggested, but few longitudinal studies exist. Our aim was to explore whether weight-related anthropometric ... -
Asthma, atopy and lung function at 11 years of age after bronchiolitis in infancy
Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun (Doctoral thesis, 2014-06-13)Background: Bronchiolitis is a frequently occurring respiratory disorder in young children, and also an established risk factor for subsequent recurrent wheeze and asthma. The association between bronchiolitis and later ... -
Asthma, atopy and lung function in young adults after hospitalisation for bronchiolitis in infancy: impact of virus and sex
Sørensen, Karen Galta; Øymar, Knut Asbjørn Alexander; Dalen, Ingvild; Halvorsen, Thomas; Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Hospitalisation for bronchiolitis is a risk factor for asthma and impaired lung function during childhood, but outcomes in young adults are poorly described. Our primary aim was to study the prevalence of asthma ... -
Blood eosinophils during bronchiolitis: Associations with atopy, asthma and lung function in young adults
Sørensen, Karen Galta; Øymar, Knut Asbjørn Alexander; Dalen, Ingvild; Halvorsen, Thomas; Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aim: To study if blood eosinophils during bronchiolitis were associated with atopy, asthma and lung function in young adults and if these associations differed between respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis and ... -
Early life growth and associations with lung function and bronchial hyperresponsiveness at 11-years of age
Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun; Halvorsen, Thomas; Juliusson, Pétur Benedikt; Magnus, Maria Christine; Nystad, Wenche; Stensrud, Trine; Størdal, Ketil; Vollsæter, Maria; Øymar, Knut Asbjørn Alexander (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Low birthweight and being born small-for-gestational age (SGA) are linked to asthma and impaired lung function. Particularly, poor intrauterine growth followed by rapid catch-up growth during childhood may predispose for ... -
Exhaled nitric oxide is related to atopy, but not asthma in adolescents with bronchiolitis in infancy
Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun; Halvorsen, Thomas; Øymar, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11-17)Background: The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) has been suggested as a non-invasive marker of eosinophilic inflammation in asthma, but lately rather as a biomarker of atopy than of asthma itself. Asthma after ... -
Half of children with recurrent or chronic wet cough before three years of age were symptom-free by age seven
Sørensen, Karen Galta; Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun; Neven, Axel; Øymar, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Aim We aimed to study the natural course of recurrent episodic and chronic wet cough in preschool children, the proportion and age of resolution, and risk factors for persistent symptoms. Methods Parents of children ... -
High flow nasal cannula in children: A literature review
Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun; Davis, Peter; Øymar, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-12)High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a relatively new non-invasive ventilation therapy that seems to be well tolerated in children. Recently a marked increase in the use of HFNC has been seen both in paediatric and adult care ... -
Lung function and bronchial hyperreactivity from 11 to 18 years in children with bronchiolitis in infancy
Sørensen, Karen Galta; Øymar, Knut; Dalen, Ingvild; Halvorsen, Thomas; Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Various trajectories for lung function and bronchial hyper‐reactivity (BHR) from early childhood to adulthood are described, including puberty as a period with excessive lung growth. Bronchiolitis in infancy ... -
Prevalence of long-term mechanical insufflation-exsufflation in children with neurological conditions: a population-based study
Hov, Brit; Andersen, Tiina Maarit; Toussaint, Michel; Vollsæter, Maria; Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun; Indrekvam, Solfrid; Hovland, Vegard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aim: To determine the prevalence of long-term mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) and concomitant mechanical ventilation in children with neurological conditions, with reported reasons behind the initiation of ... -
Tracking of lung function from 10 to 35 years after being born extremely preterm or with extremely low birth weight
Bårdsen, Tonje; Røksund, Ola Drange; Benestad, Merete; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad; Mikalsen, Ingvild Bruun; Øymar, Knut Asbjørn Alexander; Markestad, Trond Jacob; Halvorsen, Thomas; Vollsæter, Maria (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Lifelong pulmonary consequences of being born extremely preterm or with extremely low birth weight remain unknown. We aimed to describe lung function trajectories from 10 to 35 years of age for individuals ...
