AI Article Synopsis
- Cough suppression is common in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) and negatively affects their health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
- A study with 71 adults found that while cough suppression is present, it does not significantly correlate with clinical measures of disease severity like BMI or lung function.
- Mental health factors appear to play a role in cough suppression, indicating a need for further research in this area.
Article Abstract
Background: Cough suppression assessed by embarrassment about coughing has been shown in adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) and negatively affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and clinical indicators of disease severity in adolescent females. However, whether cough suppression exists in adults has been studied as little as its effects on clinical and psychological outcomes beyond adolescence.
Methods: Seventy-one subjects completed the self-reported 'Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R + 14)' and a self-report questionnaire about cough suppression, health-related perspectives, and therapy adherence. The status of CF disease was quantified in terms of the percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (ppFEV), body mass index (BMI), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pancreatic status, and CF-related diabetes (CFRD). Additional demographic data for sex, age, graduation, employment, and marital status were assessed.
Results: CS exists in adult CF and is associated with impaired HRQoL but not the overall CF disease status regarding BMI, ppFEV, or health-related perspectives. Despite a higher prevalence of cough suppression in women, no effect of sex regarding either outcome measure was observed.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that mental health indicators have an impact on cough suppression.

A 57-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of cough, with productive yellow sputum particularly severe in the morning. Bronchoscopy revealed inflammatory changes in both main bronchi, with abundant white purulent secretions and necrotic material adhering to the luminal surface. Histopathological examination showed chronic inflammatory changes in the mucosal tissue, with mild hyperplasia of the local squamous epithelium and evidence of keratinization in the surrounding area, consistent with a diagnosis of tracheal mucosal keratosis.

Background: The efficacy of behavioral cough suppression therapy (BCST) for refractory chronic cough (RCC) and unexplained chronic cough (UCC) remains unclear due to limited evidence from small-scale single-center studies.
Objective: To compile and assess the quality of evidence from randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of BCST.
Design: This study included randomized controlled studies and self-controlled studies related to BCST involving adult patients with RCC or UCC.

While cough is a protective reflex it can occur in the absence of any physical need to clear the airway. In chronic cough, cough can be triggered by innocuous stimuli and persist despite medical treatment. Non-pharmacological interventions such as cough control therapy, provided by speech pathologists, have gained popularity in recent years.
