Clinical and radiological parameters affecting the quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis
Background: Bronchiectasis is a chronic disorder of the lung caused due to permanent structural changes in the bronchial tree which consequently leads to high morbidity. Many clinical factors lead to severe morbidity in patients and affect the respiratory quality of life. Aim: The present study aime...

| description | Background: Bronchiectasis is a chronic disorder of the lung caused due to permanent structural changes in the bronchial tree which consequently leads to high morbidity. Many clinical factors lead to severe morbidity in patients and affect the respiratory quality of life.
Aim: The present study aimed to determine the various clinical and radiological factors affecting the respiratory quality of life of patients with bronchiectasis.
Materials and Methods: We recruited forty diagnosed patients with bronchiectasis and collected their social, clinical, and radiological data, and correlated various obtained parameters with their respiratory quality of life, based on the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire scoring.
Observation: We observed low body mass index, higher bronchial obstruction, and worse structural damage to the lungs correlated with worse respiratory quality of life in the patients.
Conclusion: Parameters worsening the quality of life can be considered prognostic factors for the disease. Treating clinicians can design protocols for patient management and the institutional pulmonary rehabilitation program based on these prognostic factors. |
