Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Clinical changes

Changes in clinical status

Time frame
timepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)
2

Microbiological changes

Changes in microbiological cultures

Time frame
timepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)

Secondary outcomes

1

Changes in Biomarkers values

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

Time frame
timepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)
2

Radiological Score Value

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.

Time frame
timepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)
3

Changes in SGRQ score

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.

Time frame
timepoints 0 (at inclusion), at month 2 and month 6 (and month 12 if MDR/XDR)
4

Changes in Kessler-10 score

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.
