Lung clearance index: normal values, repeatability, and reproducibility in healthy children and adolescents.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To determine if fetal growth restriction (FGR) in the setting of sterile intra-uterine milieu would be associated with a decrease in respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) of preterm-neonates.
