This study aimed to investigate QoL and its determinants in patients with noncystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n This cross-sectional study was conducted on 62 patients (38.7% male, mean age: 44) with non-CF bronchiectasis and involvement of \u22652 lobes in Qazvin, Iran. QoL was evaluated using the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). The relationships of QoL subscales with clinical (cough, dyspnea, and sputum volume) and paraclinical (spirometry, computerized tomography scan, sputum microbiology, and 6-min walk test [6-MWT]) were assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analyses.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The mean SGRQ total score was 53.1 (standard deviation 19.8) out of 100. The level of dyspnea (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.543,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001), cough (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = \u22120.594,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001), 6-MWT (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = \u22120.520,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001), sputum volume (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.423,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.002), and number of exacerbations (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.446,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.009) had significant correlation with SGRQ total score. In multiple regression analysis, forced expiratory volume in 1 s was an independent predictor of the symptom (\u03b2 = \u22120.22,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.048) and activity (\u03b2 = \u22120.43,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.03) subscales, whereas cough was an independent predictor of the symptom subscale (\u03b2 = \u22122.1,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.002).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n In patients with non-CF bronchiectasis, the extent of lung impairment has a lower effect on the QoL than clinical symptoms. It seems that the QoL can be improved through the proper treatment of clinical symptoms and rehabilitation for promoting 6-MWT.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jrms.jrms_665_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,1]],"date-time":"2023-08-01T01:41:22Z","timestamp":1690854082000},"page":"27","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Quality of life and its determinants in patients with noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Ramin","family":"Sami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammadali","family":"Zohal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Khanali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neda","family":"Esmailzadehha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-27-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"715","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(18)30053-5","article-title":"Bronchiectasis: New therapies and new perspectives","volume":"6","author":"Chalmers","year":"2018","journal-title":"Lancet Respir Med"},{"key":"R2-27-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"828","DOI":"10.1111\/resp.13298","article-title":"Increased risk of acute coronary syndrome in patients with bronchiectasis: A population-based cohort study","volume":"23","author":"Hung","year":"2018","journal-title":"Respirology"},{"key":"R3-27-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1401","DOI":"10.2147\/COPD.S132961","article-title":"Bronchiectasis in COPD patients: More than a comorbidity?","volume":"12","author":"Martinez-Garcia","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis"},{"key":"R4-27-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1186\/2049-6958-7-3","article-title":"Extrapulmonary features of bronchiectasis: Muscle function, exercise capacity, fatigue, and health status","volume":"7","author":"Ozalp","year":"2012","journal-title":"Multidiscip Respir Med"},{"key":"R5-27-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"84","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2017.00084","article-title":"Review: Quality of life in children with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis","volume":"5","author":"Nathan","year":"2017","journal-title":"Front Pediatr"},{"key":"R6-27-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1831","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rmed.2011.07.019","article-title":"Nebulised 7% hypertonic saline improves lung function and quality of life in bronchiectasis","volume":"105","author":"Kellett","year":"2011","journal-title":"Respir Med"},{"key":"R7-27-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"739","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.128.2.739","article-title":"Quality-of-life determinants in patients with clinically stable bronchiectasis","volume":"128","author":"Mart\u00ednez-Garc\u00eda","year":"2005","journal-title":"Chest"},{"key":"R8-27-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1321","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/145.6.1321","article-title":"A self-complete measure of health status for chronic airflow limitation.
