Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: Recruitment Patients will be recruited from inpatient wards. Informed consent will be obtained from all participants prior to enrollment. Nutritional Assessment * Baseline Assessment: * Nutritional status will be determined using the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and biochemical markers (e.g., serum albumin). * Dietary intake will be assessed using a 3-day food diary or 24-hour dietary recall method. * Nutritional Optimization: Patients identified as malnourished will receive a tailored nutritional intervention, which may include: * High-protein dietary recommendations. * Caloric supplementation through protein shakes or high-calorie snacks. * Micronutrient supplementation as need Data Collection Data will be collected at three time points: 1. Baseline: Upon admission. 2. During Hospitalization: After the implementation of nutritional interventions. 3. Follow-Up: Six months post-discharge, assessing long-term outcomes.

Who may be able to join

  • *Age*: Adults aged 18 years and older.
  • Diagnosis*: Confirmed diagnosis of bronchiectasis, as established by clinical evaluation and imaging studies (e.g., chest CT scan).
  • Acute Exacerbation*: Patients presenting with acute exacerbation symptoms, such as increased sputum production, worsening dyspnea, or chest pain.
  • Nutritional Assessment*: Patients identified as malnourished or at risk of malnutrition based on the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) or similar nutritional screening tools.

Who cannot join

  • *Cognitive Impairment*: Patients with cognitive impairments that affect their ability to participate in the study or adhere to nutritional recommendations.
  • Current Enteral Feeding*: Patients receiving enteral nutrition or those with a feeding tube.
  • Recent Nutritional Interventions: Patients who have recently undergone significant nutritional interventions (e.g., dietary changes, supplementation) within the past three months prior to enrollment.
  • Pregnancy or Lactation: Pregnant or lactating women, due to the need for specific nutritional considerations.

About this study

Official title: Impact of Optimization of Nutritional State on the Outcome of Patients With Acute Exacerbation of Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by the abnormal and permanent dilation of the bronchi, leading to recurrent respiratory infections, chronic cough, and significant morbidity. The disease has gained increasing recognition due to its rising prevalence and the substantial burden it places on healthcare systems .

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of nutritional status in managing chronic respiratory diseases, including bronchiectasis. Malnutrition is prevalent among patients with bronchiectasis, particularly those experiencing frequent exacerbations. It has been shown that underweight patients have lower lung function and may face worse clinical outcomes compared to those with normal weight . Specifically, a study found that underweight individuals had a significantly lower forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) compared to their normal-weight counterparts, indicating a direct correlation between nutritional status and respiratory function .

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the effects of nutritional optimization on clinical outcomes in patients experiencing an acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis. Specifically, the study seeks to:

  • Assess the Relationship Between Nutritional Status and Clinical Outcomes*: To investigate how improvements in nutritional status, measured through dietary intake, body weight, and biochemical markers, correlate with clinical outcomes such as length of hospital stay, frequency of exacerbations, and overall recovery.
  • *Evaluate the Effectiveness of Nutritional Interventions*: To determine the impact of specific nutritional interventions (e.g., high-protein diets, caloric supplementation, and micronutrient support) on the health status and recovery of patients during acute exacerbations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiectasis Adult, run by Assiut University.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2024. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hend Mohamed Sayed, Doctor (01098988712, hend.m.saleh@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Asses The Change In Quality of life (time frame: base line). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06704607, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
