“…No matter at baseline or after treatment, CET has shown a strong correlation with cough VAS and LCQ-MC, and its correlation intensity were significantly higher than that between cough VAS and LCQ-MC, and were also higher than those between cough VAS or LCQ-MC and other measures, indicating CET was useful to assess cough severity and cough-related quality of life. Although intraclass correlation coefficient of LCQ-CM was lower than that in the previous researches (0.89-0.96) [5,9,10], but it still has excellent level of repeatability. The intraclass * P < 0.0001 # correlation between CET and cough VAS versus correlation between VAS and LCQ-MS or correlation between VAS and CSS daytime/nighttime (P < 0.0001, P = 0.0143, P < 0.0001, respectively) & correlation between CET and LCQ-MC versus correlation between VAS and LCQ-MS or correlation between LCQ-MS and CSS total/daytime/nighttime (P = 0.0002, P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, respectively) correlation coefficient of cough VAS (0.85) was almost the same as Birring's data (0.84) [5], indicating VAS also has a stable and excellent test-retest reliability.…”

“…(2) The Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) is a 19-item questionnaire that assesses cough related quality of life [5]. LCQ-MC was used and presented as its total score in this study, which had already been validated in bronchiectasis and in non-small cell lung cancer patients after surgery [9,10]. (3) CSS is a two-part questionnaire relating to cough symptoms during the day and at night [4].…”

Background: Chronic cough has an important impact on physical, social and psychological aspects. A simple and effective method to assess different aspects of chronic cough severity is required. We aimed to develop a simple, self-completed test, Cough Evaluation Test (CET), to evaluate cough severity and its impact on health. Method: The items of preliminary CET were generated based on literature review and clinical practice. Items reduction was conducted by modified Delphi method. Patients with chronic cough were recruited to complete CET, Cough Visual Analog Scales (VAS), Mandarin Chinese version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ-MC), and Cough Symptom Score (CSS). Reassessments were performed at 1 week apart before treatment, and after more than 2 weeks treatments. Concurrent validation, internal consistency, repeatability, responsiveness and the minimal important difference (MID) were determined. Results: CET consists of five items with a 5-point Likert scale (1-5 scaling of items, 5-25 score range). The Cronbach's alpha values for CET was 0.80. CET showed a stronger correlation with LCQ-MC (r = − 0.74) compared to that between LCQ-MC with VAS (r = − 0.61). CET also showed a stronger correlation with VAS (r = 0.70) compared to that between VAS with other measures. Intraclass correlation coefficients for CET was 0.84. In patients undergoing treatment, CET scores significantly changed (p < 0.0001). The MID of CET was 2.Conclusion: Cough Evaluate Test is a reliable, valid and responsive tool to simply evaluate impact of cough on physical, social and psychological aspects.

“…All patients enrolled needed to complete the Mandarin Chinese Version of LCQ [13] preoperatively in the ward, and patients with postoperative cough were required to complete the LCQ at 2 weeks and 4 weeks postoperatively via the out-patient department, email, or WeChat. The LCQ was usually used for measuring chronic cough, but recent evidence showed there was also high validity and responsiveness in assessing acute cough or postoperative cough [7,14,15]. The LCQ is easy to complete taking less than 5 min by themselves.…”

Background The prevalence of potential risk factors for postoperative cough after thyroidectomy remain unknown. The current study aimed to research postoperative cough in patients undergoing thyroid surgery prospectively. Methods Adult patients who underwent primary thyroid surgery were selected prospectively. Data regarding age, sex, BMI, pathology and surgical procedure were collected and analyzed. The Leicester Cugh Questionnaire (LCQ) was required to be completed by all patients before operation, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after operation. Results There were 1264 patients enrolled in total. Eleven patients with vocal cord paralysis were excluded. In patients with benign disease, postoperative cough occurred in 61 patients, with an prevalence rate of 17. 0% compared to an prevalence rate of 33.1% in patients with malignant disease; the difference was significant. For benign patients, the factors of smoking and operation time were independently related to the occurrence of postoperative cough. For malignant patients, the factors of smoking, operation time, operation extent, and the number of positive nodes at level 6 were independently related to the occurrence of postoperative cough. There was no significant difference regarding the LCQ score in patients with benign or malignant disease at the preoperative and the postoperative 4-week time periods. Patients with malignant disease had a significantly lower LCQ score than patients with benign disease at the postoperative 2-week time point (p = 0.004). Conclusions Patients undergoing thyroid cancer surgery had a higher incidence of postoperative cough and were also associated with a decreased cough-related quality of life. The factors of smoking and operation time were the most important predictors for postoperative cough after thyroidectomy.

Background : The prevalence of and potential risk factors for postoperative cough after thyroidectomy remain unknown. The current study aimed to analyze postoperative cough in patients undergoing thyroidectomy using a prospective analysis. Methods : Adult patients undergoing primary thyroidectomy were prospectively enrolled. Data regarding age, sex, BMI, pathology and surgical procedure were collected and analyzed. All patients were asked to complete the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) preoperatively and at 2 weeks and 4 weeks postoperatively. Results : There were 1264 patients enrolled in total. Eleven patients with vocal cord paralysis were excluded. In patients with benign disease, postoperative cough occurred in 61 patients, with an prevalence rate of 17. 0% compared to an prevalence rate of 33.1% in patients with malignant disease; the difference was significant.
