Overview
This is a medical record data collection study. The goal of this non-interventional and retrospective study is to describe the characteristics of the population currently being monitored for bronchial dilatation who have been treated with long-term NIV. This is a study based on data from medical records.
The assessment criteria will be :
- Epidemiological characteristics of the population with bronchial dilatation on long-term NIV
- Reasons for initiation of NIV
- NIV adjustment methods
Description
Non-invasive ventilation is a treatment sometimes used for severe severe bronchial dilatation, but to date there are no studies its efficacy.
The expected results in this context are :
- a description of the characteristics of patients with severe bronchial on non-invasive ventilation (NIV)
- a better understanding, during NIV management, of the settings used, the tolerance and effectiveness of NIV in reducing exacerbations, hospital admissions and patient mortality.
- move towards better patient management
Data will be extracted from patient medical records and the PMSI.
