ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Refractory chronic cough (RCC) causes significant impairments in the life quality of patients. Further research into the identification of etiologies and development of the treatment schedules for RCC is needed. PATIENTS AND

METHODS:

We established an multidisciplinary team (MDT) clinic, by integrating respiratory medicine, otorhinolaryngology, and gastroenterology departments, to investigate cough etiologies and the effectiveness of treatment. The therapeutic effect was assessed quantitatively using the Cough Visual Analog Scales (VAS), Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), and Reflux Symptoms Index (RSI) scores.

RESULTS:

In total, 213 patients attending the MDT outpatient clinic were examined, and 115 patients with RCC were included for analysis. The RCC diagnosis rate among the outpatient was 88.7%. Common causes of RCC included gastroesophageal reflux cough (63.5%), upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) (43.5%), and cough variant asthma (CVA) (14.8%). After an average treatment period of 2.17 ± 1.06 weeks (wk), 73.9% of the patients had partial cough remission, and 6.1% had complete cough remission. The cough VAS score before and after treatment was 6.11 ± 2.02 vs. 3.66 ± 2.22 (P < 0.05), respectively; LCQ total score before and after treatment was 10.24 ± 3.11 vs. 13.16 ± 3.59 (P < 0.05), respectively; and RSI score before and after treatment was 15.82 ± 7.01 vs. 10.71 ± 6.64 (P < 0.05), respectively.

CONCLUSION:

The etiologies of most patients with RCC could be identified in the MDT clinic, and the cough-related symptoms of a significant number of patients with RCC improved in a short period.
