Objective

1.

Development and Validation of a Screening Tool for Non-CF Bronchiectasis in Indian Population (NCFB Screening tool)

  • To develop a screening tool for early detection of Non-CF Bronchiectasis in the Indian population.
  •  To validate the screening tool by assessing its sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy values in identifying Non-CF Bronchiectasis cases.

2.

Effectiveness of Budesonide + Formoterol delivered via Synchrobreathe Versus pMDI with Spacer in Asthma Patients Discharged from Hospital Post-Exacerbation

(BAI vs pMDI + Spacer)

To evaluate the effectiveness of Budesonide + Formoterol delivered via Synchrobreathe versus pMDI with spacer in asthma patients following hospitalization for an exacerbation in terms of:

  • Asthma symptom control
  • Re-exacerbations
  • Health-related quality of life (HRQoL), measured by the Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (MiniAQLQ)
  • Pulmonary function assessed using Peak Flow Meter

3.

A National Registry for Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) in India

(ABPA Registry 2025)

To create a comprehensive national registry of patients diagnosed with Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) across India.
