Cough frequency, cough sensitivity and health status in patients with chronic cough.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the frequency of cough in health and in patients with chronic cough. METHODS We measured cough frequency and its relationship with other markers of cough severity in 20 patients with chronic cough and 9 healthy subjects using the Leicester Cough Monitor (LCM), which is an automated ambulatory digital cough monitor that records sound only. All subjects had a 6-...
متن کاملSensitivity of the cough reflex in patients with chronic cough.
Cough may occur in association with excess bronchial secretions and may, therefore, be productive. However, in a proportion of patients the cough is non-productive and a possible association with an enhanced response of the cough reflex has been postulated. Using the irritant capsaicin, the sensitivity of the cough reflex was measured in 363 individuals. A questionnaire was used to divide subje...
متن کاملAzithromycin and cough-specific health status in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic cough: a randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND Macrolides reduce exacerbations in patients with COPD. Their effects on health status has not been assessed as primary outcome and is less clear. This study assessed the effects of prophylactic azithromycin on cough-specific health status in COPD-patients with chronic productive cough. METHODS In this randomised controlled trial 84 patients met the eligibility criteria: age of ≥40 ...
متن کاملChronic Cough 2 Management of chronic cough
Cough that remains unexplained after basic clinical assessment is a common reason for referral to secondary care. Much of the evidence about management of isolated chronic cough is derived from case series; this evidence suggests that isolated chronic cough is usually due to asthma, gastro-oesophageal refl ux disease, and upper airway conditions, and that it can be cured in most people by treat...
متن کاملCough sensitivity and extrathoracic airway responsiveness to inhaled capsaicin in chronic cough patients.
Enhanced cough response has been frequently observed in chronic cough. Recently, extrathoracic airway constriction to inhaled histamine was demonstrated in some chronic cough patients. However, relation between extrathoracic airway hyperresponsiveness (EAHR) and cough sensitivity determined by capsaicin inhalation is unclear in each etiological entity of chronic cough. Seventy-seven patients, w...
