Epidemiology and Management of Bronchiectasis in Australian Adults [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Simone Visser (Principal investigator)

Brief description Bronchiectasis is an incurable lung disease which causes chronic cough with phlegm. We do not know how many Australians have bronchiectasis or how it affects their lives, and there are few effective treatments. The recently launched Australian Bronchiectasis Registry collects comprehensive information on Australians with bronchiectasis. This project will use this information to start to answer these questions, and will investigate nebulised hypertonic saline as a cheap and accessible treatment.
