We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with bronchiectasis in China.<h3>Methods</h3>The Chinese Bronchiectasis Registry (BE-China) is a prospective, observational cohort enrolling patients from 111 hospitals in China. Data on demographics, comorbidities, and aetiological testing results were collected from adult patients with bronchiectasis at baseline and annual follow-up. Patients who met the inclusion criteria (age ≥18 years; received chest high-resolution CT in the past year showing bronchiectasis affecting one or more lung lobes; and clinical history consistent with bronchiectasis, including chronic cough, daily sputum production, and history of exacerbations) were included. Patients with known cystic fibrosis were excluded. To investigate variations according to different economic regions, two groups were compared based on whether per capita disposable income of residents was greater than US$5553. Clinical characteristics were compared with the European (EMBARC) registry and other national registries.<h3>Findings</h3>Between Jan 10, 2020, and March 31, 2024, 10 324 patients from 97 centres were included in the study. Among 9501 participants with available data, the most common cause of bronchiectasis was post-infective disease (4101 [43·2%] patients), followed by idiopathic (2809 [29·6%] patients). 6676 (70·0%) of 9541 patients with available data had at least one exacerbation in the year before enrolment and 5427 (57·2%) of 9489 patients with available data were hospitalised at least once due to exacerbations. Treatments commonly used in high-income countries, such as inhaled antibiotics and macrolides, were infrequently used in China. Implementation of airway clearance in China was scarce, with only 1177 (12·2%) of 9647 patients having used at least one method of airway clearance. Compared with upper-middle-income regions, patients from lower-middle-income regions were younger (61·0 years [SD 14·0] <em>vs</em> 63·9 years [14·2]) with a higher proportion of pulmonary comorbidities (521 [17·8%] of 2922 patients <em>vs</em> 639 [8·6%] of 7402 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 194 [6·6%] of 2922 patients <em>vs</em> 364 [4·9%] of 7402 patients with asthma), a higher tuberculosis burden (442 [16·0%] of 2768 patients <em>vs</em> 715 [10·6%] of 6733 patients), more severe radiological involvement (1160 [42·4%] of 2736 patients <em>vs</em> 2415 [35·4%] of 6816 patients with cystic bronchiectasis), more exacerbations (median 1·4 [IQR 0–2] in both groups; mean 1·4 [SD 1·6] <em>vs</em> 1·2 [1·4] in the previous year) and hospitalisations (1662 [60·6%] of 2743 patients <em>vs</em> 3765 [55·8%] of 6746 patients hospitalised at least once in the previous year), and poorer quality of life (median 57·4 [IQR 53·5–63·1] <em>vs</em> 58·7 [54·8–64·8] assessed by the Bronchiectasis Health Questionnai","PeriodicalId":51307,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Respiratory Medicine","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":76.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142961670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Children aged younger than 5 years presenting to their general practitioner or primary care paediatrician with symptoms of an acute respiratory tract infection were eligible for RSV testing. Children who tested positive for RSV were consented and followed up for 30 days via a physician clinical report (initial primary care visit on day 1) and two parent-report questionnaires (days 14 and 30). We assessed the burden of RSV in terms of clinical course (symptoms, illness duration, and complications), health-care resource utilisation (primary care visits, emergency department visits, hospitalisation rate, and medication use), and societal impact (daycare or school absence and parental work absence) for the 30-day follow-up period.<h3>Findings</h3>Among 3414 tested children, 1124 (32·9%; 95% CI 31·3–34·5) tested positive for RSV. Among children with data on age, RSV positivity rate was 38·9% (36·1–41·7; n=466 of 1198) in children younger than 1 year and 25·9% (24·0–27·9; n=513 of 1979) in those aged 1 to <5 years. Of the 1124 RSV-positive children, 878 (78·1%) were enrolled and had day 1 data collected (median age 11·1 months [IQR 6·0–22·0]; 446 [50·9%] boys and 431 [49·1%] girls [N=877]). RSV illness lasted a mean of 11·7 days (95% CI 11·2–12·2; n=794). At day 14 and day 30, any remaining symptoms were reported in 451 of 804 (56·1% [95% CI 52·6–59·6]) and 261 of 724 (36·0% [32·6–39·7]) children. The mean number of primary care visits per child ranged from 1·4 (95% CI 1·2–1·6; the Netherlands) to 3·0 (2·8–3·3; Spain), and was higher in children younger than 1 year (2·7 visits [2·4–2·9]) than in those aged 1 to <5 years (2·1 [1·9–2·2]). Prescribed medication use varied, from 25 of 96 children (26·0% [95% CI 17·6–36·0]; the UK) to 228 of 297 children (76·8% [71·5–81·5]; Italy), with bronchodilators and antibiotics being the most commonly prescribed medicines across all countries. Prescribed medication use was reported in 258 of 418 children aged 1 to <5 years (61·7% [56·9–66·4]) and 196 of 394 children younger than 1 year (49·7% [44·7–54·8]). Missed working days by parents due to their child's RSV illness were reported in 340 of 744 cases (45·7% [42·1–49·4]); the mean number of missed workdays ranged from 1·3 days (95% CI 0·5–2·2) in Spain to 4·1 days (3·3–5·0) in Belgium.<h3>Interpretation</h3>RSV infections in children younger than 5 years in primary care are associated with substantial symptomatology, health-care utilisation, and parental work absence. Notable differences in RSV burden existed across countries, likely due to differences in p","PeriodicalId":51307,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Respiratory Medicine","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":76.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142939528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
