Changes in microbiological cultures

Clinical changestimepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)

Changes in clinical status

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in Biomarkers valuestimepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)

Changes in the biomarkers along time assessed by using analyzing parameters in blood and urine samples (by ELISA and LUMINEX)

Radiological Score Valuetimepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)

Changes in the BCN-SA Radiological Score Value. This Score assesses the sum of acute and chronic findings in the chest X-ray. Per each finding, a maximum score of 8 is recorded. The total score value is calculated by adding all the individual findings score values. Higher values of total score represent a worse outcome.

Changes in SGRQ scoretimepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)

Changes in Health Quality of Life measures along time assessed by using the Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ, numeric score). It measures 3 subscales (symptoms/activity/impacts) and The Total score is calculated by summing all positive responses in the questionnaire and expressing the result as a percentage of the total weight for the questionnaire. Higher values represent a worse outcome.

Changes in Kessler-10 scoretimepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)

Changes in Health Quality of Life measures along time assessed by using the questionnaire Kessler-10 (K10, numeric score). Higher values represent a worse outcome.

Changes in Health Quality of Life measures along time using BCN-Q questionnairetimepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)

Changes in Health Quality of Life measures along time using BCN-Q questionnaire (descriptive questionnaire).
