Title: Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Non Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
Brief Summary: The aim of our study is to ascertain whether chest physiotherapy + pulmonary rehabilitation is more efficacious than chest physiotherapy alone. The outcomes that will be used to assess effectiveness are relevant in terms of the direct benefit on the patient's health related quality of life.

PLANNED STUDY: This randomized study will compare 8 weeks chest physiotherapy with 8 weeks chest physiotherapy plus pulmonary rehabilitation.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients with a proven and documented diagnosis of non Cystic Fibrosis (CF) idiopathic or post infectious bronchiectasis
* Stable pulmonary status and stable regimen of standard treatment at least for the past 4 weeks

Exclusion Criteria:

* Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \<30% or \>90% predicted
* Active allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
* Active and actively treated non tuberculosis mycobacterial (NTM) infection or tuberculosis
* Primary diagnosis of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients with moderate and severe bronchiectasis aged 18-75 will be recruited. Severity will be assessed radiologically by HRCT of the chest using the scoring method by Bhalla et al.

Exclusion Criteria:

* cystic fibrosis
* emphysema on HRCT chest and FEV1\<60% predicted
* active allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or tuberculosis
* poorly controlled asthma

* current smokers
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of bronchiectasis (HRCT)
* Stable medical status for last 4 weeks
* History of 2 exacerbations in the last 2 years
* Dysnpoea on exertion (Modified Medical Research Council score \>1)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Concurrent diagnosis of COPD (physician diagnosis and history of 10 pack year smoking)
* Concurrent diagnosis of asthma (history of atopic disease and evidence of bronchodilator reversibility of 12% or 200ml in FEV1 or FVC)
* Concurrent diagnosis of Interstitial lung disease
* Concurrent diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis
* Medical condition which could place patient at risk during exercise training (angina, neurological or orthopaedic condition)
* Prior completion of pulmonary rehabilitation within the last 12 months
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Bronchiectasis confirmed by HRCT of the chest
* Clinically stable (not requiring antibiotics for at least 4 weeks preceding the study start date)
* Aged 18-70
* Chronic sputum production \> 5 mls for the majority of days in 3 months before enrolment
* Chronically colonized (on at least 2 occasions in the preceding 12 months) whilst clinically stable
* At least two exacerbations in the past year
* Patients able to tolerate a nebulized gentamicin challenge
* FEV1 \> 30% predicted
* Smoking \< 20 pack year history and ex-smokers \>1 year.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Cystic fibrosis
* Emphysema on HRCT chest
* Thoracic surgery within the past 1 year
* Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
* Poorly controlled asthma ( \> 20% diurnal variation in peak expiratory flows despite treatment)
* Unstable angina or uncontrolled congestive cardiac failure
* Active malignancy
* Pregnancy or breast feeding
* Creatinine clearance \< 30 mls/minute
* Vestibular instability
* Previous documented intolerance to aminoglycosides
