What is the prognosis/outlook for patients who have bronchiectasis?

The outlook for people with bronchiectasis is better now than it used to be. People who are treated live relatively normal lifespans. The outlook is also based on the person’s age, general health, how many exacerbations happen during a specified period of time, and how bad the exacerbations are.
