This study aimed to compare the effects of three ACTs on sputum expectoration, health\u2010related quality\u2010of\u2010life (HRQOL), and exacerbation rates in adults hospitalised with an exacerbation of bronchiectasis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A randomised controlled trial of active cycle of breathing technique (ACBT), oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) therapy and walking with huffing. Sputum wet weight was collected during ACT sessions, 1\u2010h post\u2010session and the following 23\u2009h on day 2 and day of discharge. HRQOL was assessed using the Quality of Life\u2010Bronchiectasis (QoL\u2010B) questionnaire and Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) on day 2 and day of discharge. Time to first exacerbation was explored for 6 months following discharge.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty\u2010five participants were recruited. ACBT was associated with smaller sputum wet weight 1\u2010h post session on day of discharge compared to walking with huffing (mean difference \u22122.58\u2009g); no other significant differences between groups in sputum weights were observed. ACBT and walking with huffing significantly improved selected measures of HRQOL (LCQ total score and multiple QOL\u2010B domains) at hospital discharge while OPEP therapy produced minimal changes. ACBT (158\u2009days, 95% CI 139\u2013177) resulted in a longer time to first exacerbation than walking with huffing (118\u2009days, 95% CI 83\u2013154) and OPEP therapy (89\u2009days, 95% CI 69\u2013111) but this finding should be interpreted with caution due to loss to follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
