Bronchiectasis-Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap Syndrome (BCOS) is a complex pulmonary condition that merges bronchiectasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), presenting unique clinical challenges. Patients with BCOS typically exhibit a range of symptoms from both conditions, including a chronic productive cough, reduced lung function, frequent exacerbations, and diminished exercise tolerance. The etiology of BCOS involves multiple factors such as genetic predisposition, respiratory infections, tobacco smoke, air pollutants, and other inflammatory mediators.

Objective: Investigate the differences in clinical manifestations, imaging features, and associated inflammatory markers between Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM-PD) and Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB), identify potential risk factors for NTM-PD, and establish a logistic regression model to evaluate its diagnostic value.
Methods: Baseline data were collected from 145 patients with NTM-PD and 206 patients with PTB. Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to achieve a 1:1 match between the two groups, resulting in 103 matched pairs.

Background: Considering the large population of bronchiectasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in China, we aimed to conduct a thorough analysis that investigates the clinical characteristics and prognosis of bronchiectasis-COPD overlap syndrome (BCOS). Further, we aimed to explore factors associated with acute exacerbation and death in BCOS, which may be of value in its early diagnosis and intervention.
Methods: We recruited inpatients with COPD from the second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in China in August 2016, with follow-up until March 2022.
