Study of Bronchiectasis and Associated Cardiovascular Comorbidities

Effect of Cardiovascular Comorbidities on Disease Severity and Quality of Life in Patients With Acute Exacerbation of Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

Effect of cardiovascular comorbidities on disease severity and quality of life in Patients with acute exacerbation of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Bronchiectasis
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: Echocardiography

Detailed Description

The study will include patients with bronchiectasis, and in an attempt to correlate the effect and burden of cardiovascular comorbidities in those patients, we will study the quality of life in those patients in comparison to the control group ( patients with bronchiectasis and without any other comorbidities) using SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. We will also study the inflammatory markers in both groups using D-dimer, BNP, and CRP and correlate them with the frequency of hospital admission, the severity of symptoms, and the general health state.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
assessment of BNP (Brain natriuretic peptide) pg/ml levels in patients with bronchiectasis and cardiovascular comorbidities.	Serum BNP (Brain natriuretic peptide) pg/ml will be compared in both groups.	March 2023 to September 2023
Assessment of Quality of life in patients and control groups using The Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36)	The Short Form (36) Health Survey will be performed in both groups. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.	March 2023 to September 2023

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Hospitalization frequency in patient group compared to control group.	Number of hospital admission in the last year will be compared in both groups.	March 2023 to September 2023
