There is a need for biomarkers that can rapidly and sensitively detect therapeutic benefits of therapies designed to "rehydrate" airways and monitor disease severity and progression. In this study the investigators will evaluate the stability of mucus concentration in patients with bronquiectasis (CF and NCBF) and its ability to respond to acute exacerbations in order to assess whether it can be a good candidate for biomarker.
Prospective cross-sectional study of repeated measurements. The recruitment will be performed in 3 different cities of Spain: Zaragoza, Barcelona and Murcia.
Subjects will be asked to repeatedly collect spontaneous and induced sputum samples in both stable and exacerbated conditions. All samples will be collected autonomously by patients in their homes after they have been instructed and supervised. Hypertonic saline nebulization will be used for sputum induction.

| Quality of life related to cough | Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ). Self-administered questionnaire that evaluates the impact of cough in three domains: physical, psychological, and social (each one ranged 1 to 7). It is composed of 19 questions and the "total score (range 3 to 21) is calculated by adding the domain scores together". The lower the score, the greater the severity. | Baseline |
| Impact of cough and sputum symptoms of everyday life | Cough and Sputum Assessment Questionnaire (CASA-Q). Self-administered questionnaire that consists of 20 questions organized in four domains (cough symptoms, cough impact, sputum symptoms, and sputum impact). Each domain is ranged from 0 to 100. The total score is expressed over 100 and calculated doing an average of the four domains. The lower the score, the greater the severity. | Baseline |
| Breathlessness | Modified Medical Research Council breathlessness scale: self-rating tool to measure the degree of disability that breathlessness poses on day-to-day activities on a scale from 0 to 4: 0, no breathlessness except on strenuous exercise; 1, shortness of breath when hurrying on the level or walking up a slight hill; 2, walks slower than people of same age on the level because of breathlessness or has to stop to catch breath when walking at their own pace on the level; 3, stops for breath after walking ∼100 m or after few minutes on the level; and 4, too breathless to leave the house, or breathless when dressing or undressing. | Baseline |
