- To conduct a systematic review on the management of chronic cough due to CB.
- To update the 2006 American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) guideline recommendations.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of studies on adult patients with CB.
- Assessment of study relevance and quality.
- Development and voting on guideline suggestions using CHEST methodology.
Main Results:
- The search strategy identified studies related to chronic cough in CB.
- Evidence for managing chronic cough due to CB is generally limited and of low quality.
Conclusions:
