Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the trends in prevalence of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis in the US primary care population from 2015 to 2025, examining demographic variations and the impact of subspecialist evaluations. Their analysis revealed a significant 133% increase in age-adjusted prevalence, reaching 270.3 per 100,000 patients by 2025, with affected individuals generally being older, predominantly female, and more likely to be white and on Medicare.
