Sleep Quality in Patients With Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

Sleep Quality in Patients With Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis in Asyut University Hospitals: Correlation With Clinical, Functional, and Radiological Parameters

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis is a chronic, heterogeneous airway disease characterized by irreversible bronchial dilatation, persistent airway infection, and neutrophilic inflammation that together drive daily cough, sputum production, recurrent exacerbations, and progressive functional decline. Sleep is a key determinant of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and cardiometabolic health. In chronic lung diseases, nocturnal hypoxemia, cough, dyspnea, and systemic inflammation commonly disrupt sleep continuity and architecture. In bronchiectasis specifically, several studies show high rates of poor sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), with \~50-60% of clinically stable patients classified as "poor sleepers," often accompanied by daytime dysfunction. Poor sleep correlates with disease severity indices and symptoms such as nocturnal cough. Participants are assessed at baseline and followed at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to evaluate changes in sleep quality over time and their relationships with changes in clinical status, functional measures, quality of life, and subsequent bronchiectasis-related outcomes.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Acute bronchiectasis exacerbation at screening or within the preceding 4 weeks, including treatment with systemic antibiotics and/or systemic corticosteroids for respiratory deterioration during that period.
  • Primary sleep disorders likely to substantially confound interpretation of sleep-quality measures, including newly diagnosed moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea initiating positive airway pressure therapy, narcolepsy, or untreated restless legs syndrome; patients with previously diagnosed sleep disorders on stable treatment for ≥3 months may be included.

Other illness

  • Severe hemoptysis, unstable respiratory status, or any medical condition making completion of study questionnaires or scheduled assessments unsafe or unreliable in the investigator's judgment.
  • Active pulmonary tuberculosis, interstitial lung disease, lung malignancy, pregnancy, or severe neurological or cognitive impairment that would prevent reliable completion of study assessments.

Who the study is looking for

  • Age ≥18 years (adults).
  • Confirmed stable non-CF bronchiectasis on high-resolution CT (HRCT) by a chest radiologist, with standard features (e.g., broncho-arterial ratio \>1, lack of tapering, airways visible within 1 cm of pleura), documented in the medical record.
  • Non-cystic fibrosis etiology: no clinical diagnosis of cystic fibrosis; if prior doubt, a negative/normal sweat chloride or genetic report is required.
  • Ability and willingness to participate in scheduled follow-up assessments at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
