Respiratory symptoms associated with a new lobe-based bronchial scoring system in an urban Chinese low-dose CT screening population

Question Bronchiectasis is frequently detected on low-dose CT lung cancer screening. However, a lob-based bronchial scoring, its clinical relevance and association with respiratory symptoms are lacking. Findings Over 40% of participants had bronchiectasis, mostly in the lower lobes. Higher bronchial scores were associated with increased wheeze risk and reduced chest pain. Clinical relevance Early detection of bronchiectasis through CT-based scoring in lung cancer screening can improve assessment of respiratory health, enabling timely interventions and potentially reducing disease progression. Future research should explore the clinical implications of our new bronchial scoring system.
