The Australian Bronchiectasis Registry (ABR) was established in 2015 by Lung Foundation Australia (LFA) and the Australasian Bronchiectasis Consortium (ABC), an independent steering committee composed of Australia’s and New Zealand’s leading respiratory physicians with experience, interest and skill in both clinical management and research.
The principal aim of the registry is to identify and collect longitudinal health information on patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis in order to facilitate epidemiological research, improve clinical care and maximise opportunities for patients to participate in clinical trials. The registry has international collaborations with US, European and New Zealand researchers to build on the existing evidence base, leverage knowledge, expertise, protocols, and ideas in order to optimise research outcomes through international sharing of data.
