Night cough counts and diary card scores in asthma

Night cough counts and diary card scores in asthma

L N Archer et al. Arch Dis Child. 1985 May.

Abstract

A tape recording system for recording night cough in asthmatics at home is described. Objective cough counts and half hour periods containing cough did not correlate with diary card scores awarded to eight children on seven nights each. Night cough diary scores may mislead in the assessment of symptom severity.
