Description
RationaleThe measurement of cough frequency is widely used in clinical trials, typically expressed as the number of explosive cough sounds per hour. However, this measure does not capture the clustering of coughs into bouts. Coughing bouts contribute to perceived cough severity and the physical complications of coughing, but an agreed standard definition of cough bouts is lacking.
