Clinical disease manifestationLower airways: haemoptysis (more than traces), infectious exacerbations, pneumothorax
Upper airways: otitis media, hearing impairment, sinusitis, chronic rhinitis, nasal polyps
Other conditions: gastro-oesophageal reflux, sinus headache, chest pain
Microbiological findingsSputum, throat swab, cough swab, laryngeal swab, nasal swab, nasal lavage, bronchoalveolar lavage, ear swab
TherapyAntibiotics: systemic, inhaled
Inhalation therapy (not antibiotics): NaCl 0.9%, hypertonic NaCl (at least 3%), bronchodilator, corticosteroids, other
Other drugs
Physiotherapy/airways clearance therapy: postural drainage and percussion, autogenic drainage, positive expiratory pressure, active-cycle breathing technique, oscillatory positive expiratory pressure, high-frequency chest compression, exercise training
Oxygen therapy: intermittent/continuous
Long-term mechanical ventilation: noninvasive/invasive
Lung surgery: lobectomy, lung transplantation, other
Upper-airway surgery: tympanostomy tube insertion, adenotomy, sinus surgery, mastoidectomy, other
Quality of life: the PCD-specific quality of life questionnaire (QOL-PCD) will be added as soon as validation has been completed
  • All items contain the input option: not done, not available or not relevant. Users can choose between this extended dataset and a limited dataset with fewer variables. FVC: forced vital capacity; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; MEF25%: mid-expiratory flow at 25% of FVC; MEF25–75%: mid-expiratory flow at 25–75% of FVC; 6MWD: 6-min walking distance; LCI: lung clearance index; FRC: functional residual capacity; PCD: primary ciliary dyskinesia.
