Their median age was 47.5\u2009years (interquartile range [IQR], 39.9\u201356.8\u2009years), 254 were women (55.3%), and 425 lived in areas classified as remote (93.0%). The estimated prevalence of bronchiectasis was 19.4 per 1000 residents (20.6 per 1000 women; 18.0 per 1000 men). The age\u2010adjusted prevalence of bronchiectasis was 5.0 (95% CI, 1.4\u20138.5) cases per 1000 people in the Darwin Urban health area, and 18\u201336 cases per 1000 people in the three non\u2010urban health areas. By 30 April 2023, 195 people with bronchiectasis had died (42.5%), at a median age of 60.3\u2009years (IQR, 50.3\u201368.9\u2009years).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of bronchiectasis burden among Indigenous adults in the Top End of the NT is high, but differed by health district, as is all\u2010cause mortality among adults with bronchiectasis.
