Description
How stubborn cough is measured in trials and clinics is mapped by Elizabeth Skinner and co-authors in work dated 2026. Seventy studies from six years passed the screen, split between trials and real-world work. Trials leaned on machine-counted cough rate as the top mark in most cases. Real-world studies used a far wider spread of marks. Patient-told outcomes ran through both worlds in many forms.
Fresh digital tools are in growth across the field, the map shows. Trial and clinic habits part ways in plain view here. Shared marks would ease drug and care compares for this burden-heavy ill.
