“…The cough is productive of sputum daily in 75–100%, on an intermittent basis in 12–20% and non-productive in 5–8% 46 53 145 245. Assessment of volume may be by patient and clinician estimate and, in the literature, the convention is to compare the volume of sputum produced in 24 h with easily recognisable units such as a teaspoon (5 ml), dessert spoon (10 ml), tablespoon (15 ml), egg cup (30 ml) or tea cup (200 ml) 223 239. Formal collection of sputum over 24 h will achieve a more accurate measurement and this may be recorded as volume or weight.…”

“…Strongest predictors of quality of life in clinically stable bronchiectasis include dyspnoea, FEV 1 and sputum production 69. In an exacerbation where all three factors are generally worse,70 quality of life would decrease. Furthermore, Wilson et al demonstrated a clear relationship between lower quality of life in the St George’s questionnaire and increasing numbers of exacerbations 71…”

“…Furthermore, as the disease progresses, additional symptoms, such as fever and weight loss, arise [5–8] . Munro et al [9] reported that the presence of phlegm has a significant impact on the development of chest pain. Moreover, chronic cough is associated with pain and is thought to result in chest and skeletal muscle pain [10–12] .…”

Effects of pain on depression, sleep, exercise tolerance, and quality of life in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease

The experience and causes of pain in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) have not been clarified. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of bodily pain (BP) in patients with NTM-PD. We also investigated the clinical indicators that contribute to pain. We used a retrospective cross-sectional study design. The participants were 114 NTM-PD patients (109 women) with a mean age of 65 years. The prevalence and severity of pain were measured using 2 items from the 36-Item Short Form Survey version 2 (SF-36), and the BP score was calculated. Functional limitation due to dyspnea was quantified using the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC), depression was assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); health-related quality of life was assessed using the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), and exercise tolerance was measured using the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT). Pain was reported by 70.2% of the patients (n = 80), and of these, 35.7% (n = 25) reported moderate to very severe pain. NTM-PD patients with high levels of pain had significantly higher scores on the mMRC, CES-D, and PSQI scores, and significantly lower performance on the ISWT and LCQ. Multiple regression analysis identified ISWT, CES-D, and PSQI as independent factors that affected BP scores. Our findings suggest that pain significantly impacts daily life associated with reduced exercise tolerance, the presence of depressive symptoms, and poor sleep quality in patients with NTM-PD.
