In view of the conflicting notions of the relationship between bronchiectasis and asthma, we have analysed the use of hospital services by bronchiectasis and asthma patients and evaluated the links between these diseases, employing data from the Finnish Hospital Discharge Register of over 21 million hospitalization periods recorded in 1972-92. We conclude that asthma is common in hospitalized bronchiectasis patients and appears to be consequent upon this disease.
鉴于支气管扩张症与哮喘之间关系的观点相互矛盾，我们利用芬兰医院出院登记处1972 - 1992年记录的超过2100万住院病例的数据，分析了支气管扩张症患者和哮喘患者对医院服务的利用情况，并评估了这些疾病之间的联系。我们得出结论，哮喘在住院的支气管扩张症患者中很常见，且似乎是由这种疾病引起的。
