Bronchiectasis is a common lung disease. Approximately 20-40% of patients with bronchiectasis experience comorbid anxiety and depression. Multiple studies have now demonstrated that anxiety and depression are associated with an increased risk of disease exacerbation in these individuals.
Therefore, this study aims to collect data on anxiety and depression status, disease exacerbation frequency, hospitalisation rates, and mortality among participants diagnosed with bronchiectasis. Concurrently, biological samples including blood, sputum, and stool will be obtained. Through metabolomics analysis, we will investigate the expression of anxiety and depression-related metabolic pathways and identify corresponding biomarkers to explore their role in the progression of bronchiectasis.
Inclusion: Age ≥18 years; Participants' pulmonary imaging findings and clinical presentation met the diagnostic criteria for bronchiectasis; Clinically stable (no antibiotics or oral corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to enrolment); Patients who are willing to sign the consent form and participate in the study.
Exclusion: Participants with cystic fibrosis or previous lung transplantation; Participants who are unable to cooperate with the study due to dysfunction of vital systems such as heart, brain, liver, and kidneys, or who are unable to participate in the study due to comorbid serious diseases; Participants with active disorders, including active tuberculosis, active allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, active nontuberculous mycobacterial infection and malignancy or secondary traction bronchiectasis associated with pulmonary fibrosis; Age <18 years; Does not meet the diagnostic criteria for bronchiectasis; Pregnant or lactating females; Who are not able to provide informed consent or who refuse to participate in the clinical study.
