Background: Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) is a Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) therapy that improves pulmonary function and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in cystic fibrosis (CF) adults with at least one copy of the F508del CFTR mutation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of ETI on CRS symptoms in children and adolescents with CF.
Methods: The MODUL-CF observational study is a multicenter prospective cohort study enrolling CF children with at least 1 F508del mutation in France.
Background: A French national survey showed that 1447 children were treated with long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in 2019. Data about the ventilatory settings for children are scarce. The aim of the study was to report the CPAP/NIV settings from the survey according to the patients' age and disorders.

- The study aimed to analyze characteristics of healthy children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA-I) and those with OSA and non-syndromic obesity (OSA-II) in France who were treated with CPAP or NIV in 2019.
- Data from a national survey focused on CPAP/NIV initiation criteria, duration, age at initiation, equipment used, settings, and compliance were examined.
- Results showed that OSA-II patients were older at initiation and treated longer than OSA-I patients, with both groups mainly using CPAP, but having similar compliance rates.
Rationale: The use of long-term noninvasive respiratory support is increasing in children along with an extension of indications, in particular in children with central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of children with CNS disorders treated with long-term noninvasive respiratory support in France.
Methods: Data were collected from 27 French pediatric university centers through an anonymous questionnaire filled for every child treated with noninvasive ventilatory support ≥3 months on 1st June 2019.
The aim of the study was to describe the characteristics of children with neuromuscular diseases treated with long term noninvasive ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure in France. On June 1st 2019, 387 patients (63% boys, mean age 11.2 ± 5.

Design: Cross-sectional national survey.
Setting: Paediatric CPAP/NIV teams of 28 tertiary university hospitals in France.
To assess risk factors of recurrent bronchial obstruction and allergic sensitization 3 years after an episode of acute bronchiolitis, whether after ambulatory care treatment or hospitalization. A monocentric prospective longitudinal study including infants aged under 1 year with acute bronchiolitis was performed, with clinical (severity score), biological (serum Krebs von den Lungen 6 antigen), and viral (14 virus by naso-pharyngeal suction detection) assessments. Follow-up included a quaterly telephone interview, and a final clinical examination at 3 years.

We attempted to assess the beneficial effects on the QOL of children and their parents of a short TE program initiated immediately after the first consultation with a pediatric pulmonologist.
Methods: The QOL of 31 families of asthmatic children (aged 5-11) was measured before and 3 months after a short and early programme of TE by the French version of the Pictured Child's Quality of Life Self Questionnaire (AUQUEI, AUtoquestionnaire QUalité de vie Enfant Imagé) for the children, and by the Paediatric Asthma Caregiver's Quality of Life Questionnaire (PACQLQ) for the parents.
