BeBe [Born Early Breathe Easy], also called Respiratory Health Outcomes in Neonates [RHiNO], is a project studying why some children who were born early have breathing problems and how best to treat these breathing symptoms.

We are aiming to visit 1,000 children aged 7 – 12 years who were born prematurely to determine if they have breathing problems using breathing tests and to see if a single dose of inhaler used in asthma improves any breathing problems. We are also studying children aged 7 – 12 years who were born on time so we can compare the results to those born prematurely.
