A point-of-care neutrophil elastase activity assay identifies bronchiectasis severity, airway infection and risk of exacerbation

Neutrophil elastase activity in sputum can identify patients at high risk of airway infection and exacerbations in bronchiectasis. Application of this biomarker in clinical practice is limited, because no point-of-care test is available. We tested whether a novel semi-quantitative lateral flow devic...
