Months to years: More typical in chronic conditions such as bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, ILD and cyanotic congenital heart disease.
Important clinical point
Clubbing is generally associated with:
Lung carcinoma (especially NSCLC)
Bronchiectasis
Lung abscess / empyema
Interstitial lung disease
Cyanotic congenital heart disease
Inflammatory bowel disease and chronic liver disease
A patient developing clubbing over a few days should raise the possibility of previously unnoticed clubbing rather than assuming genuinely new clubbing.
