Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
assessment of BNP (Brain natriuretic peptide) pg/ml levels in patients with bronchiectasis and cardiovascular comorbidities.
Serum BNP (Brain natriuretic peptide) pg/ml will be compared in both groups.
Assessment of Quality of life in patients and control groups using The Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36)
The Short Form (36) Health Survey will be performed in both groups. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.
Secondary outcomes
Hospitalization frequency in patient group compared to control group.
Number of hospital admission in the last year will be compared in both groups.
