摘　　要：Background: Bronchiectasis, characterized by irreversible bronchial dilation, often affects patients’ long-term health. This study assessed the prevalence and risk factors of bronchiectasis in adults based on CT scan-finding department (OPD) patients in a single center. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 301 adult OPD patients examined between 2021 and 2022. We diagnosed bronchiectasis based on high-resolution chest CT scans. We analyzed demographic characteristics, tuberculosis (TB) history, and the presence of comorbid conditions using electronic medical records. We conducted univariate and multivariate analyses to identify potential risk factors for bronchiectasis. Results: Among 301 patients who had high-resolution chest CT scans, 139 (46.1%) received a diagnosis of bronchiectasis. Multivariable analysis revealed significant associations between bronchiectasis and the following factors: age greater than 50 years and history of tuberculosis. We found no significant correlation between gender and smoking history. Conclusion: This study found a high prevalence of bronchiectasis (46.1%) among OPD patients in our single center, with older age and a history of tuberculosis identified as independent risk factors.Background: Bronchiectasis, characterized by irreversible bronchial dilation, often affects patients’ long-term health.
