Pneumonia
r = −0.495
-
Most of the patients with acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis were positive for sputum culture, suggesting that there was a certain correlation between the severity of the disease and the positive results of sputum culture.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
r = −0.673
-
Sputum culture was positive, indicating that the patient had bacterial infection, and AECOPD was related to the severity of bacterial infection.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
r = −0.839
-
Pulmonary fungal infection, especially Aspergillus infection, may be one of the causes of persistent wheezing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The drug resistance rate of most bacteria is positively correlated with the frequency of antibiotics. According to the disease severity of inpatients, the monitoring of bacterial drug resistance and the management of clinical application of antibiotics should be strengthened.

r = 0.811
The drug resistance of bacteria is related to the severity of the disease in inpatients, suggesting that the clinical use of antibiotics should be standardized to reduce the production of drug-resistant bacteria.

Acute attack of bronchial asthma
r = 0.133
-
The main inducing factors of asthma attack were upper respiratory tract infection, followed by dust mites, house dust, and pollen. Lower respiratory tract infection is relatively rare, and the positive rate of sputum culture is low, which is not the main inducing factor of asthma attack.
