Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this exploratory randomized controlled trial was to investigate the efficacy of a disease specific Expert Patient Programme compared to usual care in patients with bronchiectasis. Hypothesis: Disease specific EPP will increase self efficacy compared to usual care.

Usual care

Usual care included reviews at a specialist respiratory clinic on a three monthly basis to monitor spirometry, inflammatory blood markers and sputum microbiology. The patients were prescribed inhaled therapy and antibiotics if required, and treatment adjusted to the needs of the patient as necessary, including hospital admission.

Group Type OTHER

Usual care

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Usual care included reviews at a specialist respiratory clinic on a three monthly basis to monitor spirometry, inflammatory blood markers and sputum microbiology. The patients were prescribed inhaled therapy and antibiotics if required, and treatment adjusted to the needs of the patient as necessary, including hospital admission.

Expert Patient Programme

Receives a disease specific Expert Patient Programme in addition to usual care. The disease specific Expert Patient Programme was delivered one session per week (lasting 2½ hours) for eight weeks and included 2 weeks disease specific education followed by 6 weeks standardised Expert Patient Programme.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Expert Patient Programme

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intervention was a disease specific Expert Patient Programme in addition to usual care. The disease specific Expert Patient Programme was delivered one session per week (lasting 2½ hours) for eight weeks and included 2 weeks disease specific education followed by 6 weeks standardised Expert Patient Programme.
