Description
Hyeon-Kyoung Koo and a multicenter team validated a 2026 short cough questionnaire across many lung diseases. The Rapid Cough Questionnaire has just three items and aims to replace a longer standard tool, the Leicester Cough Questionnaire, in busy clinics. Whether the short form holds up in structural lung disease was still untested before this work.
Adults with chronic cough, 300 in total, completed five cough scales at respiratory centers. Scores on the short form tracked the long form very tightly and also matched other symptom scales well. Links held across chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, lung scarring, and bronchiectasis groups. Even in lung scarring, where simple scales drifted apart, the short form stayed close to the long form.
