Overview

Longitudinal analysis highlights worsening airway disease in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia, indicating risk factors for bronchiectasis.

Key Points

  • Children with primary ciliary dyskinesia show significant progression of bronchiectasis over time, impacting airway health.
  • The average annual increase in airway disease severity reached 0.09% for the cohort, revealing serious concerns.
  • Longitudinal analysis was conducted on CT scans across 142 children, allowing for detailed assessment of airway abnormalities.
  • Findings indicate a need for monitoring airway disease in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia due to expected worsening.
