What this Trial Is About
Bronchiectasis is associated with repeated exacerbations which occurs at rates of 1.5-6.5 per patients per year, and are associated with an increased risk of admission and readmission to hospital, and high health care costs. In a local study carried out more than 10 years ago, idiopathic disease dominates and patients with bronchiectasis are mainly female with high hospitalization and mortality rates; 21.9 cases per 100,000 and 2.7 cases per 100,000 respectively. Moreover, exacerbation characterized by increases in symptoms requiring antibiotic treatment is associated with disease progression and significant mortality. Updated prevalence of this disease with the characteristics of etiology, clinical presentation and outcomes are needed to guide further management plan.
