Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to assess the risk of bronchiectasis in patients with acromegaly compared with controls after adjusting for age, sex, household income, place, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean age of the participants was 47.65 years, and male subjects comprised 45.62% of the cohort.

In multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression modeling, the risk of bronchiectasis was significantly higher in patients with acromegaly than that in controls (HR: 1.49; 95% CI: 1.15\u20131.94,
