The study was conducted evaluate clinical etiology in bronchiectasis patients. And compare results assessment obtained via BSI scores. Methods: at a tertiary care hospital outpatients department respiratory medicine. Detailed history necessary investigations were done. calculated. Statistical analysis performed using SPSS package. Results: According score, we found 28 patients with mild bronchiectasis, 17 moderate, 5 severe bronchiectasis. frequency low, intermediate, high 24, 21, 5, respectively. Moreover, observed weak but statistically significant association 43% agreement between scores: Fisher’s exact test(p=0.399), tau-b de Kendall (-0.123; p = 0.337) kappa test (0.032; 0.878). Conclusions: There is small correlation two scales (BSI FACED). tendency for be classified higher compared score.
