Summary

Conflicting evidence exist in the literature on the utility of bronchoscopy in patients with haemoptysis and negative/non-diagnostic chest CT scan. The primary aim of this prospective, observational, multicenter study is to evaluate the utility of bronchoscopy in patients with haemoptysis and negative/non-diagnostic CT scans. Secondary aims are related to the utility of bronchoscopy to detect occult malignancies, the source of the bleeding and the clinical features of the cohort
