Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to compile scientific articles that critically review recent advances in pediatric pulmonology and emerging perspectives aimed at optimizing comprehensive pediatric patient care. The incorporation of new diagnostic technologies, multidisciplinary approaches, and advances in genetics and molecular biology have consolidated pediatric pulmonology as a continuously expanding and highly complex field. The selected articles offer a comprehensive overview of the most relevant innovations, including the development of advanced imaging techniques and biomarkers for the early detection of respiratory diseases, individualized management planning for patients with chronic conditions such as severe asthma, cystic fibrosis, or interstitial lung diseases, as well as the implementation of noninvasive therapeutic strategies and ventilatory support for pediatric respiratory failure.
Advances in telemonitoring and telemedicine, essential tools for optimizing clinical follow-up, reducing hospitalizations, and promoting continuity of care in complex chronic patients, are also analyzed. The editorial also emphasizes expanding areas of research, highlighting the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for risk stratification, exacerbation prediction, and the personalization of therapeutic interventions. The ultimate goal of this Special Issue is to provide readers with a rigorous and up-to-date review of a constantly evolving field, helping to establish new standards of clinical practice and sustainably improve the quality of life and long-term prognosis of pediatric patients with respiratory diseases.
