Background There is a lack of evidence to guide the duration intravenous antibiotics for bronchiectasis exacerbations. Aims The aim this study was assess whether it feasible, based on bacterial load, shorten during exacerbations and 14 days treatment superior. Methods We recruited participants requiring Participants were randomised into two groups: receive (14-day group) or have shorter load (bacterial load-guided group (BLGG)). Bacterial checked 0, 7, 10, 21. If <10 6 CFU·mL −1 day 7 10...
Asthma is a common comorbidity in patients with bronchiectasis and has been shown to increase the risk of exacerbations.

Background: Food record charts (FRCs) are routinely used to monitor and assess the oral intake of patients deemed be at nutritional ‘risk’. These normally completed by nursing staff subsequently inform direct dietetic treatment plans. However, there is no evidence on validity qualitative quantitative information recorded FRCs. A pilot study in two stages was undertaken; first, examine and, second, qualitatively evaluate FRC using weighed food methodology a comparative analysis. Methods:...
