Study Overview
Brief Summary
This prospective cohort study is designed to observe of the effect of intervention therapy on the long-term prognosis of children with bronchiectasis. The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the degree of deterioration of lung function, to observe and compare the quality of life, the time of pulmonary exacerbation, and the changes of lung image.
Detailed Description
All enrolled patients are followed up for half a year, 1 years, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, while observation of pulmonary function, symptoms, signs, quality of life, the times of acute pulmonary exacerbation, and the changes of lung image are performed.
