“…Clinics by French et al [9] and Birring et al [6] In contrast to French et al [14], a gender difference was not found in the impact on health-related QoL. This may be because we did not use validated questionnaires such as the cough-specific QoL questionnaire (CQLQ) [15] and the Leicester cough questionnaire (LCQ) [6] to assess health-related QoL.…”

This often persistent and unpleasant respiratory sensation is not necessarily satiated by the act of coughing (McGarvey et al, 2009) and contributes significantly to morbidity in patients with respiratory disease (French et al, 1998).…”

“…These patients also complain that bouts of coughing are triggered by relatively innocuous stimuli frequently encountered during normal daily routine such as exposure to aerosols, scents and odours, a change in air temperature or when talking or laughing. This airway sensory hyperreactivity (SHR) is often what disturb patients most about their condition and appears to be of sufficient importance to impact on health status [3]. In the development of the two most widely used cough quality of life questionnaires items most frequently perceived as important by cough patients included statements such as; 'exposure to paint or fumes made me cough' [4]and 'I can no longer sing, for example, in church' [5].…”
