INTRODUCTION: Noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) is a neglected debilitating condition with scarce epidemiological literature explaining its geographical heterogeneity, especially in lower and middle-income countries. This study aimed to assess and correlate the functional profile of NCFB patients and evaluate the correlation of body mass index (BMI) with several disease variables.
METHODS: This mixed-method retrospective research study was conducted on 124 radiologically confirmed NCFB patients in terms of various qualitative and quantitative variables.
RESULTS: Restrictive ventilatory defect was the most common type with the preponderance of male former smokers. Mean platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR; 104.08 ± 73.59) revealed certain degree of systemic inflammatory burden with a slightly higher mean peripheral leukocyte count (10665.19 ± 4268.81 cell/mm3) and eosinophilia of >2%. Almost all patients had periodontal disease with a higher prevalence of chronic periodontitis (54.83%). Moderately severe and predominantly cystic radiological type was encountered with 61.2% patients positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bronchiectasis aetiology comorbidity index (BACI) i.e., 2.34 ± 2.37 represented an intermediate mortality risk in our patients. On basis of BMI, majority were young underweights with poor pulmonary functions while PLR skewed toward overweight patients (nonsignificant P > 0.05). Forced expiratory volume/forced vital capacity displayed a negative weak moderately significant correlation with BACI (r = -0.24; P = 0.008). Peripheral lymphocyte count demonstrated a weak negative but significant correlation with modified Reiff score (r = -0.20; P = 0.023) while serum neutrophil count had a weak negative moderately significant correlation with hemoglobin (r = -0.20; P = 0.023).
CONCLUSIONS: NCFB bears great heterogeneity with distinct geographical phenotypes and should be correlated thoroughly in terms of peripheral leukocytes count, pulmonary functions, radiology, BMI, and coexisting comorbidities for adequate management.
