METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was carried out at the Jordan University Hospital (JUH), a tertiary facility located in Amman, Jordan. Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis (NCFB) was defined as an HRCT scan typical for bronchiectasis along with a negative sweat chloride test to rule out cystic fibrosis. Patients' data were collected by the use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) at our institution. Frequent exacerbation was defined as more than 2 exacerbations in 1 year of the onset of the diagnosis.

RESULTS: A total of 79 patients were included, and 54.4% of them were female. The mean and standard deviation of the patient's age was 48.61 ± 19.62. The etiologies of bronchiectasis were evident in 79.7% of the sample. Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD), and Kartagener syndrome were the most prevalent etiologies, accounting for related illnesses in 21.8%, 21.5%, and 13.9% of the patients, respectively. The most frequent bacteria cultured in our cohort were Pseudomonas and Candida Species. Moreover, 43 patients of the study cohort were frequent exacerbators, and 5 patients died.
