What is Burden of chronic cough in the UK: results from the 2018 National Health and Wellness Survey about?
## Background Chronic cough, defined as daily cough for at least 8 weeks, negatively affects quality of life and work productivity and increases healthcare resource utilisation. We aimed to determine the prevalence and burden of chronic cough in the UK. ## Methods Study participants were general population respondents to the 2018 UK National Health and Wellness Survey (NHWS). Respondents completed survey questions relating to health, quality of life, work productivity and activity impairment, and use of healthcare resources. Prevalence estimates were projected to the UK population using post-stratification sampling weights to adjust for sampling bias. The population with chronic cough was matched 1:3 with a group without chronic cough, using propensity score matchingon age, sex and the modified Charlson Comorbidity Index. ## Results Of 15 000 NHWS respondents, 715 reported chronic cough in the previous 12 months and 918 during their lifetime. Weighted to the UK adult population, the 12-month prevalence of chronic cough was 4.9% and lifetime prevalence was 6.2%. Prevalence of chronic cough was higher among older respondents and those with smoking histories. Chronic cough respondents
