Funded Activity Summary

Bronchiectasis is a condition which causes significant morbidity, burden of disease and mortality in children as well as adults. Exacerbations in bronchiectasis influence the decline in lung function and quality of life for patients. Although the importance of treating exacerbations effectively is well accepted, there are no universally accepted guidelines for recognizing and managing an exacerbation of bronchiectasis in children. This study aims to fill this clinical and research gap.
