Chest computed tomography findings among adult Aboriginal Australians with bronchiectasis in the Top End Northern Territory of Australia
Introduction
There is limited evidence in the literature illustrating chest computed tomography (CT) characteristics among adult Aboriginal Australians with bronchiectasis. This retrospective study evaluates the radiological characteristics of bronchiectasis in Aboriginal Australians residing in the Top End, Northern Territory of Australia.
Methods
Patients aged >18 years with chest CT-confirmed bronchiectasis between 2011 and 2020 were included. Demographics and relevant clinical parameters were collected. Alongside confirming bronchiectasis, chest CT reports were assessed for (i) lobar location (ii) unilateral or bilateral involvement and (iii) bronchiectasis type when available.
Results
A total of 459 patients were identified with chest CT-confirmed bronchiectasis, with a median age of 47 years, and 55% were females. Bronchiectasis was predominantly recorded in the left lower lobe (LLL) (73%), followed by the right lower lobe (RLL) (62%) and the left upper lobe (LUL) was least common (22%). Females recorded the right middle lobe (RML) affected significantly more often than males (50 vs. 34%, P = 0.012). Bilateral involvement was common (74%), with the strongest pairwise correlation associated between the right upper lobe (RUL) and LUL (P < 0.001). Cylindrical (50%) and cystic (28%) types were most common. The RML and LLL showed positive correlation with cylindrical and LUL with cystic bronchiectasis. Neither lobar location nor bronchiectasis type showed any significant association with lung function parameters other than RML, Lingula and LUL involvement being associated with better percent predicted values of diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. There were no significant associations between sputum culture and type or lobar locations of bronchiectasis except for non-Aspergillus fungus culture prevalence was higher with cystic or cylindrical types.
Conclusion
The results of this study may be an avenue to develop CT bronchiectasis severity scale in the future specific for Aboriginal Australians.
