Abstract:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is an extremely prevalent illness in the United States; however, clinicians report that its association with chronic cough is often overlooked and undiagnosed. We used the CERNER Health Facts® database to analyze the statistical prevalence. Our findings indicate that there is a minority of patients who are untreated for this common complaint. We propose considering this on the differential diagnosis and following current treatment guidelines with proton pump inhibitors to effectively treat this complaint.
