The overlap between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis is a neglected area of research, and it is not covered by guidelines for clinical practice. COPD and bronchiectasis share common symptoms of cough with sputum production and susceptibility to recurrent exacerbations driven by new or persistent infection. Physiological criteria for the diagnosis of COPD and structural criteria for the diagnosis of bronchiectasis create the possibility for individual patients to fulfil both, resulting conceptually in either co-diagnosis or an overlap syndrome between the two conditions. The prevalence of this overlap will vary depending on the respective prevalence of COPD and bronchiectasis in the population under consideration. A recent study of 201 COPD patients with airway wall abnormalities typical of bronchiectasis confirmed an association with exacerbations and was predictive of mortality over 48 months. A further, single-centre study demonstrated a near three-fold increased mortality rate, with patients with bronchiectasis and associated COPD having a 5-year mortality of 55%, compared with 20% in those with bronchiectasis without COPD. Airflow obstruction is perhaps best considered one marker of disease severity in bronchiectasis. Disease-associated exacerbations have a major effect on patient healthcare costs as well as quality of life due to increased lung damage and mortality risk. Microorganisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and, to a lesser extent, other Gram-negative and Gram-positive microorganisms identified in culture, have been linked to disease progression, poor clinical outcomes in bronchiectasis and driving airway neutrophil-mediated inflammation. The microbiome has the potential to provide valuable information regarding disease phenotype/endotype, treatment responses and targets for future therapy.
Evaluation of the Effect of Yoga Training on Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Patients with Bronchiectasis between the ages of 30-55
Bronchiectasis is a chronic multiple etiologies pulmonary disease characterized by permanent dilatation of the caliber of the bronchial tree territory with an alteration of mucociliary clearance. This alteration causes mucus retention and leads to infections and chronic bronchial inflammation. Respiratory physiotherapy is one of the cornerstones of the management of these patients, particularly to facilitate bronchial drainage. In patients with abundant bronchial secretions, it is recommended to carry out airway clearance sessions daily or several times a day, which represents a very significant burden of care. Moreover, access to respiratory physiotherapy care isn't always easy for patients due to geographical, time, or professional availability limitations. In addition, few professionals are trained in France for this specific care dedicated to chronic lung disease. Finally with this kind of remote formation and follow up, it may be more suitable for this at-risk patient population in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic situation (limitation of physical contact). SIMEOX® (Physio-Assist, Aix en Provence, France) is an innovative medical device (CE medical mark) for bronchial tree drainage. The use of this device in autonomy by the patient requires however a specific initial training of a few sessions (3-5 sessions). Tele-physiotherapy could allow remote training of patients in the use of SIMEOX®. This SIMEOX® device used autonomously at home, could provide patients with a practical and efficient bronchial clearance technique. The overall objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the use of SIMEOX® at home after education in its use by telecare for bronchial drainage in patients with bronchiectasis (non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis) and who have difficulty accessing usual respiratory physiotherapy sessions.
clarithromycin may reduce the exacerbations in middle-aged and elderly patients with non-CF bronchiectasis. The study is aimed to (A) investigate the etiologies and clinical features of patients with bronchiectasis, (B) compare the effect of clarithromycin 250mg daily on the frequency of exacerbations, quality of life and lung function, stratified according to the degree of bronchiectasis severity.
A feasibility RCT comprising two groups: 1. Intervention (SELF-BREATHE in addition to standard NHS care) 2. Control group (standard / currently available NHS care)
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.
The objective of this study was to assess whether the long-term use of oral An'Ningpai Enteric Soft Capsuleson (300 mg, three times daily, 12 months) might reduce the incidence of exacerbations and improve the quality of life in patients with Non-CF bronchiectasis.
Airflow limitation is common exist in idiopathic bronchiectasis patients. However, there are few evidence on the treatment of bronchodilator in bronchiectasis with airflow limitation. The efficacy and safety of dual bronchodilator in idiopathic bronchiectasis with airflow limitation are still unclear. Thus, the investigators conduct a multicenter, open-label randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of dual bronchodilator in idiopathic bronchiectasis with airflow limitation.
Pneumonia is a recurrent element of COVID-19 infection, it is often associated with development of respiratory failure and patients frequently need various degrees of oxygen therapy up to non invasive ventilation (NIV-CPAP) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Main purpose of this study is to evaluate with non invasive clinical instruments (pletysmography, Diffusion lung capacity for carbon monoxide -DLCO-, six minute walking test and dyspnea scores) and radiological tools (chest X-ray and chest CT scan) the development of medium-to-long term pulmonary sequelae caused by SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.
