Filter by:The guiding role of parallel randomized controlled trials in clinical practice is limited due to the insufficiency of individual information. Our previous studies showed that Single case randomized controlled trials (referred to as N-of-1 trials) could reflect the individualized characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation with good feasibility, but the sensitivity was low. This study aims to compare the efficacy of treatment based on syndrome differentiation with controlled decoctions (placebo, and the method of strengthening the body resistance and removing phlegm) among patients with stable bronchiectasis through a series of N-of-1 trials (single-patient, double-blind, randomized, multiple crossover design), with the 7 point-likert scale of the most concerned symptoms as the main outcome. Hierarchical Bayesian statistical methods and some parameters and variables will be introduced, such as TCM syndrome type, potential residue effect of TCM, etc. The sensitivity and applicability of various mathematical models (Hierarchical Bayesian, paired t-test and Meta-analysis) for N-of-1 trials of TCM will be tested, for the purpose of improving the sensitivity and applicability of N-of-1 trials of TCM both on individual and group levels.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of brensocatib at 10 mg and 25 mg compared with placebo on the rate of pulmonary exacerbations (PEs) over the 52-week treatment period.
This study is being done to study a safe and non-invasive way to diagnose lung rejection and infection.
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.
This study aims to investigate the characteristics of gut microbiome and metabolome in non-CF bronchiectasis patients, hoping to explore the underlying mechanisms as well as the influence of gut microbiota composition on bronchiectasis.
In the literature, there are no studies evaluating COVID-19 phobia, quality of life, health anxiety, physical activity level and quality of sleep in patients with bronchiectasis during COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators will evaluate these parameters in patients with bronchiectasis and compare the findings of healthy individuals during COVID-19 pandemic
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.
