Pulmonary, Sleep Medicine and Cystic Fibrosis: Why Us?
In 2023, the first gene therapy of its kind for Duchenne muscular dystrophy was approved by the Food and Drug Administration under accelerated approval. This year, we saw expanded approval. We are proud to have been part of the research team conducting clinical trials supporting innovations in care for patients with muscular dystrophy. Our long history of collaboration with the Jerry R. Mendell Center for Gene Therapy in the Abigail Wexner Research Institute and the Neuromuscular Disorders Program here at Nationwide Children’s Hospital was also integral to the approval of the first systemically delivered gene therapy (Zolgensma® for spinal muscular atrophy) in 2019.
This past year our pulmonary clinics saw 18% growth. We also expanded our expertise and offerings by adding advanced bronchoscopy procedures, such as lung biopsies, balloon dilation of the bronchi and endobronchial valve placement for the treatment of bronchopulmonary fistulas.
The Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship engages physician trainees with clinical experience, focused learning opportunities and research. Program completion will fulfill the requirements for Pediatric Pulmonology certification by the American Board of Pediatrics.
Our cystic fibrosis team works with patients and families to combine state-of-the-art diagnostic testing, symptom management, education and emotional wellness to maintain all aspects of health. We have a program for children and adolescents and one for adults.
Our Sleep Disorder Center and our Sleep Medicine Clinics assist primary care physicians and specialists with the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in children from infancy to adolescence.
