Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bronchiectasis, characterized by irreversible bronchial dilatation, is a growing global health concern with significant morbidity. This review delves into the intricate relationship between smoking and bronchiectasis, examining its epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic approaches. Our comprehensive literature search on PubMed utilized MESH terms including 'smoking,' 'smoking cessation,' 'bronchiectasis,' and 'comorbidities' to gather relevant studies. AREAS COVERED This review emphasizes the role of smoking in bronchiectasis development and exacerbation by compromising airways and immune function. Interconnected comorbidities, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease, create a detrimental cycle affecting patient outcomes. Despite limited studies on smoking cessation in bronchiectasis, the review stresses its importance. Advocating for tailored cessation programs, interventions like drainage, bronchodilators, and targeted antibiotics are crucial to disrupting the inflammatory-infection-widening cycle. EXPERT OPINION The importance of smoking cessation in bronchiectasis management is paramount due to its extensive negative impact on related conditions. Proactive cessation programs utilizing technology and targeted education for high-risk groups aim to reduce smoking's impact on disease progression and related comorbidities. In conclusion, a personalized approach centered on smoking cessation is deemed vital for bronchiectasis, aiming to improve outcomes and enhance patients' quality of life in the face of this complex respiratory condition.

Comparative effectiveness and safety of inhaled corticosteroid plus long-acting β 2-agonist fixed-dose combinations vs. long-acting muscarinic antagonist in bronchiectasis. Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol 2024; 17:157-164. [PMID: 38224017 DOI: 10.1080/17512433.2024.2306218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of fixed-dose combination (FDC) inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting β2-agonists (ICS/LABA) in bronchiectasis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study analyzed electronic medical records of bronchiectasis patients initiating ICS/LABA FDC or LAMA between 2007 and 2021. All bronchiectasis diagnoses were made by radiologists using high-resolution computed tomography. RESULTS Of the 1,736 patients, 1,281 took ICS/LABA FDC and 455 LAMA. Among the 694 propensity score matched patients, ICS/LABA FDC had comparable outcomes to LAMA, with HRs of 1.22 (95% CI 0.81-1.83) for hospitalized respiratory infection, 1.06 (95% CI 0.84-1.33) for acute exacerbation, and 1.06 (95% CI 0.66-1.02) for all-cause hospitalization. Beclomethasone/formoterol (BEC/FOR) or budesonide/formoterol (BUD/FOR) led to a lower risk of acute exacerbation compared to fluticasone/salmeterol (FLU/SAL) (BEC/FOR HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.43-0.81; BUD/FOR HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.50-0.93). BEC/FOR resulted in lower risks of hospitalized respiratory infection (HR 0.48, 95% 0.26-0.86) and all-cause hospitalization (HR 0.55, 95% 0.37-0.80) compared to FLU/SAL. CONCLUSION Our findings provide important evidence on the effectiveness and safety of ICS/LABA FDC compared with LAMA for bronchiectasis. BEC/FOR and BUD/FOR were associated with better outcomes than FLU/SAL.

The Role of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy in Exercise Testing and Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A Review of the Current Literature. J Clin Med 2023; 13:232. [PMID: 38202239 PMCID: PMC10779451 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13010232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has recently emerged as a crucial therapeutic strategy for hypoxemic patients both in acute and chronic settings. Indeed, HFNC therapy is able to deliver higher fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2) with a heated and humidified gas flow ranging from 20 up to 60 L per minute, in a more comfortable way for the patient in comparison with Conventional Oxygen Therapy (COT). In fact, the flow keeps the epithelium of the airways adequately moisturized, thus positively affecting the mucus clearance. Finally, the flow is able to wash out the carbon dioxide in the dead space of the airways; this is also enhanced by a modest positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) effect. Recent evidence has shown applications of HFNC in exercise training and chronic settings with promising results. In this narrative review, we explored how HFNC might contribute to enhancing outcomes of exercise training and pulmonary rehabilitation among patients dealing with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung diseases, and lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk factors for osteoporosis and its prognostic value in patients with bronchiectasis is not well characterized. We explored the risk factors for osteoporosis and its prognostic impact in hospitalized non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) patients in Southeast China. METHODS This observational cohort study consecutively enrolled 179 hospitalized patients with NCFB bronchiectasis between 2017 and 2021. The risk factors and the impact of osteoporosis on all-cause mortality were assessed. RESULTS 21.2% (38/179) of hospitalized NCFB patients were diagnosed with osteoporosis. Patients with osteoporosis had more severe symptoms (assessed by chronic airway assessment test, CAT, median 22 vs. 17, P = 0.017), poorer quality of life (assessed by St. George Respiratory Questionnaires, SQRC, median 42 vs. 27, P = 0.007), more severe disease stage (assessed by bronchiectasis severity index, BSI, median 14 vs. 11, P = 0.02), more comorbidities (assessed by Bronchiectasis Aetiology Comorbidity Index, BACI, median 5 vs. 4, P = 0.021) than patients without. Age, female sex, anemia, post-infection, and history of regular inhaled corticosteroid treatment were independent risk factors for osteoporosis in those patients. 21 patients (11.7%) died over a median follow-up period of 32 months. The all-cause mortality in NCFB patients with osteoporosis [28.94% (11/38)] was significantly higher than those without osteoporosis [7.09% (10/141)] [hazard ratio (HR) 5.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.26-12.67, P < 0.001]. After adjusting for BSI and other confounding factors, osteoporosis was still independently associated with all-cause mortality in hospitalized NCFB patients (HR 4.29, 95% CI 1.75-10.49, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Osteoporosis had an independent effect on all-cause mortality in hospitalized NCFB patients. Management of comorbidities, including bone health, is a critical aspect of treating NCFB patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE There are limited studies on the use of bronchodilators for the treatment of bronchiectasis. This study investigated the efficacy of tiotropium in patients with bronchiectasis and airflow limitation. METHODS This study was a prospective cohort study, including 169 patients with bronchiectasis and airflow limitation from 2015 to 2019. The clinical outcomes observed in our study were the effect of tiotropium on the frequency of moderate exacerbations, the time to the first severe exacerbation, and the annual decline in FEV1. RESULTS After 12 months, the annual decline in the FEV1 after bronchodilator use was 27.08 ml or 42.9 ml per year in the group with or without tiotropium, respectively. Treatment with tiotropium was associated with a decreased risk of moderate exacerbation of bronchiectasis (Adjusted RR 0.618 95% CI 0.493-0.774; P < 0.005). The time to the first severe acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis in the tiotropium group was longer than the non-tiotropium group (Adjusted HR 0.333 95% CI 0.219-0.506; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In conclusion, prospective cohort study showed that tiotropium effectively ameliorated the annual decline in the FEV1, with a lower-risk rate of moderate exacerbations and prolonging the time to the first-time severe exacerbation in patients with bronchiectasis and airflow limitation.

Abstract
To identify the risk factors associated with all-cause mortality in patients with noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). This prospective cohort study included 120 adult patients with NCFB, who were regularly treated at a specialized outpatient clinic of a university hospital between January 2017 and June 2020. All patients were diagnosed using high-resolution computed tomography. Demographic and clinical data, pulmonary function tests, and the Euro-quality-of-life 5-domain 3-level questionnaire were analyzed. The factors associated with death were determined using the Cox proportional hazards model. The all-cause mortality rate at 41 months was 10.8%. Adjusted multivariate analysis showed that the main contributing predictors for mortality were female sex, smoking, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emergency visits, use of antibiotics due to exacerbation, secretion color change, exacerbation, predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second, predicted forced vital capacity, lack of respiratory physiotherapy, absence of vaccination against pneumococci, and mobility domain. Multiple factors contribute to unfavorable outcomes in patients with NCFB, and early recognition of these factors may improve care management.

Abstract
Bronchiectasis is a common comorbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There are limited data regarding the incidence of bronchiectasis in COPD. The purpose of the study was to use a nationwide database to evaluate the incidence of bronchiectasis in COPD in Taiwan. We used a cohort of 2,000,000 individuals followed from 2005 to 2018. Patients with COPD diagnosed between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2017, were selected, and those with bronchiectasis before COPD were excluded. In total, 134,366 patients with COPD were enrolled, and propensity score matching was used to ensure homogeneity of baseline characteristics between the COPD and non-COPD groups. The incidence rate of bronchiectasis was higher in the COPD group than in the non-COPD group (87.83 vs 69.80 per 10,000 person-years). The adjusted hazard ratio (1.9; 95% confidence interval 1.75-2.05; P < 0.001) of bronchiectasis indicated that the risk of bronchiectasis was 1.9 times higher for patients with COPD than for patients without COPD. In the COPD group, the age-stratified incidence rates of bronchiectasis increased with age (55.01, 80.92, 101.52, and 105.23 for 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and over 70 years, respectively). The incidence of bronchiectasis was higher in patients with COPD than in the general population, the risk of bronchiectasis increased with age in COPD, and post-tuberculosis status was an important risk factor for bronchiectasis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The coexistence of COPD and bronchiectasis seems to be common and associated with a worse prognosis than for either disease individually. However, no definition of this association exists to guide researchers and clinicians. METHODS We conducted a Delphi survey involving expert pulmonologists and radiologists from Europe, Turkey and Israel in order to define the "COPD- [bronchiectasis] BE association".A panel of 16 experts from EMBARC selected 35 statements for the survey after reviewing scientific literature. Invited participants, selected on the basis of expertise, geographical and sex distribution, were asked to express agreement on the statements. Consensus was defined as a score of ≥6 points (scale 0 to 9) in ≥70% of answers across two scoring rounds. RESULTS 102 (72.3%) out of 141 invited experts participated in the first round. Their response rate in the second round was 81%. The final consensus definition of "COPD-BE association" was: "The coexistence of (1) specific radiological findings (abnormal bronchial dilatation, airways visible within 1 cm of pleura and/or lack of tapering sign in ≥1 pulmonary segment and in >1 lobe) with (2) an obstructive pattern on spirometry ([forced expiratory volume in 1 s] FEV1/[forced vital capacity] FVC <0.7), (3) at least two characteristic symptoms (cough, expectoration, dyspnoea, fatigue, frequent infections) and (4) current or past exposure to smoke (≥10 pack-years) or other toxic agents (biomass, etc.)". These criteria form the acronym "ROSE" (Radiology, Obstruction, Symptoms, Exposure). CONCLUSIONS The Delphi process formulated a European consensus definition of "COPD-BE association". We hope this definition will have broad applicability across clinical practice and research in the future.
