Articles will be searched from the earliest available time to July 2023. The studied population will be composed of children and adolescents with asthma and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. From the data obtained, all articles found will be transferred to the Rayyan platform. Study selection will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols Checklist (PRISMA P-2015). In addition, if sufficient data are available, a meta-analysis will be conducted. Two independent reviewers will conduct the studies selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. The outcome measures will be to analyze if non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is related to a specific inflammatory profile.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A systematic review will provide better knowledge about the etiopathogenesis and causes of the association between asthma and bronchiectasis and its role in the severity and control of asthma. Identifying, selecting and critically evaluating studies on asthma and bronchiectasis, would be possible to illuminate the characteristics of children and adolescents with associated diagnoses and provide information to help individualized treatments in order to control and prevent complications. The findings of this study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n<jats:title>Systematic review registration<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The
