Many require a specific therapy and thus, a systematic aetiologic evaluation is recommended by guidelines [3]. Studies have shown wide heterogeneity in the proportion of different aetiologies identified among centres [4–8], which can be partially justified because of geographical risks factors, but may also reflect variations in testing practice or in the definitions of aetiology used [9]. The proportion of patients classified as idiopathic varies (26–74%) across the literature, and this variability is likely to be somewhat linked to a lack of use of a standard aetiological algorithm [4–8].The use of a standardised aetiological algorithm in bronchiectasis can improve the diagnosis of underlying cause http://ow.ly/5dga30gxrq3 ER -
