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.

支气管扩张症是一种无法治愈的肺部疾病，导致慢性咳嗽痰。我们不知道有多少澳大利亚人患有支气管扩张症，也不知道它如何影响他们的生活，而且几乎没有有效的治疗方法。最近启动的澳大利亚支气管扩张登记处收集了澳大利亚支气管扩张患者的全面信息。本项目将使用这些信息来回答这些问题，并将研究雾化高渗盐水作为一种廉价和方便的治疗方法。
