Growth and Development

Our group is dedicated to paediatric research. We are interested in rare respiratory and endocrinological diseases, and also in common paediatric problems such as normal growth, asthma, neonatal pathology and imaging diagnosis, as well as minority diseases. Our goal is to transfer the findings of clinical and genetic studies to the widespread clinical practice and the general population, with the long-term objective of obtaining better diagnoses, implementing better therapeutic practices and improving the health of children.

Our group is part of CIBERER (Biomedical Research Networking Centre on Rare Diseases) (CIBERER U712) and European Reference Networks (ERN) for rare diseases ERN LUNG and Endo-ERN.

Normal Growth and development pattern in children.

Longitudinal study of growth 1995-2017. Longitudinal studies of growth require a very long follow-up period, about 20 years, but they allow to correctly evaluate pubertal growth by providing differentiated data for children who initiate pubertal maturation at an early, intermediate or late time. In this study, 1,453 healthy non-obese subjects (743 women, 710 males) who reached adult height between January 2012 and January 2017 were included, which allowed the development of height, weight and body mass index charts, with the particularity of including separated charts for the different phenotypes of pubertal maturation (very early, early, intermediate, late and very late). This allows a much more accurate assessment of pubertal growth.

In addition to the publication of the results, a website "Millennials Growth. Longitudinal growth study 1995-2017", which includes the growth charts performed with the LMS method, an auxologic calculation program for health professionals, and two Apps (Android and iOS) has been developed. This will allow their use by all health professionals and we believe it will be a very valuable tool for the assessment and monitoring of normal and pathological growth in children.

Preterm respiratory diseases and the influence of nutrition.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Our current line in this subject is centered in studying the role of imaging in predicting the outcome of preterm babies with this chronic respiratory disease.

Omega-3 fatty acids supplementation and oxidative stress in preterm infants. The goal of this study is whether omega-3 fatty acids supplementation can decrease the incidence and severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and preterm retinopathy.

Rare respiratory diseases: Primary ciliary dyskinesia, Paediatric interstitial lung diseases and paediatric pulmonary hypertension.

1.1 Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD): We are a referral centre for diagnosis of PCD and we have established a clinical and research collaboration network with other national and international PCD diagnostic centres. 

1.2 Paediatric interstitial lung diseases. We are leading the Spanish ISCIII registry for paediatric interstitial lung diseases and have started a project to characterize the incidence and the molecular basis of these rare diseases in Spain. We have international collaborations in this field (chILD EU registry and an E-rare 3 funded clinical trial).

1.3 Paediatric pulmonary hypertension. We have an active collaboration with the Spanish Registry of Paediatric Pulmonary Hypertension (REHIPED) and are developing an intense epidemiologic research in this area.
