About this study

The purpose of this research is to retrospectively evaluate current clinical care of Bronchiectasis (non-cystic fibrosis [CF]) in adults from a multidisciplinary management perspective. This evaluation aims to address the important gaps in current clinical care in 2011, 2013 and July 2016- Jun2017. The primary outcome of this evaluation is to compare the efficacy of current multidisciplinary clinical practice to the British Thoracic Society (BTS) \& Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) guidelines for bronchiectasis. Secondary outcomes of this evaluation will determine the impact of clinical care in 2011, 2013 and July2016-June2017 through quantification of:hospital utilization for using hospital admission data, average length of stay, readmission rates within 28 days, emergency service attendance, outpatient review, exacerbations use of antibiotics, use of Hospital and Home (H@H), number of contacts with the respiratory nursing service and type of contacts with the respiratory nursing service.

Read the detailed description

Project design: The study will be a 12 month retrospective observational cohort study conducted through a review of medical records, internal respiratory databases and electronic hospital patient record (OACIS, HOMER \& EPAS). Participants: Participants in the study will include all patients who have emergency service presentations or admissions to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH) with new or existing bronchiectasis in 2011(Jan 1st to Dec 31st). This will be repeated using the same criteria in 2013. An additional year of July2016- Jun2017 has been added for recency of management and to assess if change occurred with introduction of electronic patient record. Data collection: Demographics, clinical data, hospital service utilization, and clinical outcomes such as exacerbation frequency and disease progression. All data will be extracted into a standardized data extraction form, which a random subset will be checked by a second researcher.Analysis of results:Demographic and descriptive data will be given in means + standard deviation and compared using a two-tailed and Student t-test. Categorical variables will be compared using chi-squared or Fisher exact tests, and when appropriate the Mann Whitney U test for non-parametric data. Statistical significance will be determined using an alpha of p <0.05. All analyses will be examined using SPSS software (version x). A subgroup analysis for primary and secondary admission diagnosis will also be performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of patients with bronchiectasis guideline compliant care

    Percentage of patients who meet guideline compliant care for management of bronchiectasis based in TSANZ and BTS guideline recommendations for outpatient management

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of admissions

    Service outcome includes number of emergency department attendance and admissions

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Impact of bronchiectasis outpatient management on patient outcomes

    Frequency of exacerbation reported in patient case notes (electronic and hard copy) extracted by two respiratory nurses

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Number of outpatient (OPD) attendances

    Service outcome includes respiratory and all cause OPD attendances

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Patient mortality

    Mortality of patients from qualifying admission to present day

    Measured: 0 years up to 4 to 7 years dependent on qualifying year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiectasis, run by The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients with bronchiectasis guideline compliant care (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2023.
