The automatic recognition and counting of cough

Samantha J Barry, Adrie Dane, Alyn H. Morice et al. · 28 Sep 2006

BACKGROUND: Cough recordings have been undertaken for many years but the analysis of cough frequency and the temporal relation to trigger factors have proven problematic. Because cough is episodic, data collection over many hours is required, along with real-time aural analysis which is equally time-consuming. A method has been developed for the automatic recognition and…

Objective cough frequency in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

This study measured cough rates in IPF patients and investigated the association between cough and measures of health related quality of life and subjective cough assessments. In addition, IPF cough rates were related to measures of physiological disease severity and compared…

However, excessive and inappropriate coughing can emerge as a primary presenting symptom of many airway diseases. Cough disorders are characterized by a reduction in the threshold for reflex initiation and, as a consequence, the occurrence of cough in…

Development and validation of the Newcastle laryngeal hypersensitivity questionnaire

Patients with these conditions frequently report sensory disturbances, and an emerging concept of the 'irritable larynx' suggests common features of a sensory…

C F Everett, Jack Kastelik, R. Thompson et al. · 23 Mar 2007

BACKGROUND: Chronic cough is a common symptom which causes significant levels of morbidity. It is becoming increasingly well characterised by research taking place in specialist cough clinics, where successful treatment rates are high. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the symptom complex of chronic cough in the community. This report details the results…
