Treatment and outcomes of patients with chronic lung disease and acute myocardial infarction: Insights from the nationwide AMIS plus registry. Eur J Clin Invest 2024; 54:e14193. [PMID: 38481088 DOI: 10.1111/eci.14193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on patients with chronic lung disease (CLD) presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We aimed to analyse baseline characteristics, treatment and outcome of those patients enrolled in the Swiss nationwide prospective AMIS Plus registry. METHODS All AMI patients enrolled between January 2002 and December 2021 with data on CLD, as defined in the Charlson Comorbidity Index, were included. The primary endpoints were in-hospital mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), defined as all-cause death, reinfarction and cerebrovascular events. Baseline characteristics, in-hospital treatments and outcomes were analysed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. RESULTS Among 53,680 AMI patients enrolled during this time, 5.8% had CLD. Compared with patients without CLD, CLD patients presented more frequently with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) and type 2 MI (12.8% vs. 6.5%, p < 0.001). With respect to treatment, CLD patients were less likely to receive P2Y12 inhibitors (p < 0.001) and less likely to undergo percutaneous coronary interventions (68.7% vs. 82.5%; p < 0.001). In-hospital mortality declined in AMI patients with CLD over time (from 12% in 2002 to 7.3% in 2021). Multivariable regression analysis showed that CLD was an independent predictor for MACCE (adjusted OR was 1.28 [95% CI 1.07-1.52], p = 0.006). CONCLUSION Patients with CLD and AMI were less likely to receive evidence-based pharmacologic treatments, coronary revascularization and had a higher incidence of MACCE during their hospital stay compared to those without CLD. Over 20 years, in-hospital mortality was significantly reduced in AMI patients, especially in those with CLD.

[PMID: 34969556 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvoice.2021.11.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Revised: 11/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the efficacy of speech-language pathology therapy in the self-assessment, in the cough frequency, and the vocal quality of adults with chronic cough. METHODS This is a systematic review with meta-analysis that answered the clinical question: "In adults with chronic cough, what is the effect of the speech-language pathology therapy in the self-assessment, in the cough frequency, and the vocal quality, compared to another intervention?" (PROSPERO 2021/CRD42021226729). An electronic search (MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, and Lilacs), and a manual search (Journal of Voice, Brazilian Library of Theses and Dissertations, Open Grey and Clinical Trials) with specific search strategies was performed. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing the risk of bias in randomized trials. Meta-analysis (standardized difference of means, Inverse Variance, and random effects model) and heterogeneity analysis (Chi², Tau², and I²) were performed. RESULTS We found 610 studies and selected three. There was an uncertain risk of detection bias. The data were heterogeneous, and there was no difference between interventions in self-perception of cough severity (z = 0.09, P = 0.930; tau² = 0.65, I² = 90%) and in the self-perception of the effects of chronic cough on health status (z = 0.30, P = 0.77; tau² = 0.99, I² = 97%). The estimated mean difference was 0.97 to cough frequency, and it was differ significantly from zero (z = 4.47, P < 0.001) but the results are heterogeneous (Chi² (1) = 22.22, P < 0.001, I² = 95%). CONCLUSION The speech-language pathology therapy had a greater effect size than the control interventions on cough frequency. However, in the subjects' perception, there were no differences between the interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to map the clinical parameters used in the speech-language pathology assessment of the chronic cough. METHODS a scoping review was performed to answer the clinical question: "What are the clinical parameters included in the speech-language pathology assessment of patients with chronic cough?" Evidence was searched by electronic and manual search. The electronic search included: MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and LILACS. Each database had a specific search strategy. The manual search included Journal of Voice, Chest, and Thorax, Brazilian Library of Theses and Dissertations, Open Grey, and Clinical Trials, in addition to scanning the references of the included studies. The extracted data considered information regarding the publication, sample, assessment, and measures used when assessing chronic cough. RESULTS the electronic search found 289 studies; the manual search found 1036 studies; 12 were selected for the present study. The most used assessments were: self-assessment (75%), aerodynamic analysis (66.67%), the perceptual auditory judgment of the voice quality (58.33%), acoustic analysis of the voice (41.67%), cough frequency, and cough threshold (41.67%) and electroglottography (25%). CONCLUSIONS the subjective instruments were used more frequently, while specific objective instruments, which are recent, were used less frequently. Complementary assessments such as vocal assessment, have been frequently used, also, with no other parameter. A lack of homogeneity was identified in the speech-language pathology assessment and measures of patients with chronic cough, thus, the comparison among studies and clinical analysis is difficult.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) is a reliable tool for measuring the multidimensional impact of cough on patients' quality of life; however, its scoring algorithm is lengthy and complex for routine clinical use. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to develop a simplified version of the LCQ, the Rapid Cough Questionnaire (RCQ), as a substitue in clinical practice and validate the RCQ using an independent cohort. METHODS To select items for the RCQ score, a correlation network was used to determine the items from each domain that were strongly correlated with the total LCQ score. The final items for the RCQ were selected on the basis of the centrality of the node degree, betweenness, and closeness in the correlation network. RESULTS The RCQ score was derived from 3 items: tiredness (LCQ3) in the physical domain, the feeling of being fed up (LCQ13) in the psychological domain, and annoyance with partner/family/friends (LCQ19) in the social domain. The correlation between the LCQ and RCQ was high, with a coefficient of 0.93 (P < .001). The mean score of the RCQ was 11.2 ± 3.2, with scores ranging from 5.15 to 19.55. The minimal clinically important difference in the RCQ score was calculated to be 1.6 using a distribution-based method. The concurrent validity of the LCQ and the RCQ with cough numeric rating scale was similar. In the validation cohort, the correlation between the LCQ and RCQ scores was consistent regardless of sex and etiology. CONCLUSION The RCQ score, which is concise, reliable, and valid, can be a valuable tool for patient assessment, particularly in clinical practice.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental pollutants formed during the incomplete combustion of organic substances, such as coal and oil. PAHs exposure is known to increase the incidence of respiratory diseases; however, limited research has focused on their impact on chronic cough. In this study, we utilized data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) from 2003 to 2012. Chronic cough was defined as 'coughing most days for three consecutive months or more'. Employing survey-weighted multivariate logistic regression models, we identified positive associations between all six PAHs metabolites (1-NAP, 2-NAP, 3-FLU, 2-FLU, 1-PHE, and 1-PYR) found in urine and the presence of chronic cough. Furthermore, results from restricted cubic spline modeling revealed a nonlinear relationship between urinary levels of 1-NAP, 2-NAP, 3-FLU, 2-FLU, and 1-PYR and the risk of chronic cough. Co-exposure modeling unveiled the combined effects of multiple exposures and the relative contributions of each PAHs. Notably, co-exposure to PAHs was positively associated with an increased risk of chronic cough, where 2-FLU emerged as the primary contributor to this association. These findings were particularly pronounced in individuals with high cotinine exposure (≥0.05 ng/mL). In conclusion, this study presents epidemiological evidence linking PAHs exposure to an elevated risk of chronic cough. Further prospective investigations are warranted to corroborate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex-related disparities in the prevalence of chronic cough have been consistently reported globally, with varying male-to-female ratios. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate sex-related differences by comparing correlations between cough-related symptoms in males and females of different age groups. DESIGN Adult patients with chronic cough who completed the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) were recruited from 16 respiratory centers. METHODS Correlation networks were constructed based on Spearman's correlation coefficients in males and females of various age groups. The distinct relationships of cough-related symptoms between subgroups were validated by an independent cohort. RESULTS A total of 255 patients were enrolled in this study (male-to-female ratio, 1:1.71). The following LCQ items were highly correlated: embarrassment and interference with daily work, anxiety, and interference with overall life enjoyment/feeling of being fed up, interference with daily work and overall life enjoyment, interference with overall life enjoyment and feeling of being fed up, and feeling of being fed up and annoyance to partner/family/friends. The patterns of these correlations between LCQ items varied in males and females of different ages. The strongest interrelationship was observed in male patients aged >50 years old, which was similar to those in the validation cohort. CONCLUSION The correlation patterns between cough-related symptoms vary significantly according to age and sex. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the development of cough-related symptoms may facilitate sex- and age-specific strategies for chronic cough.

Abstract
PURPOSE Only limited studies have depicted the unique features and management of refractory chronic cough (RCC) and unexplained chronic cough (UCC). These led to the initiation of this study, which reported the demographic characteristics, manifestations, and long-term outcomes on a large series of consecutive RCC/UCC patients, providing a guideline-led real-world clinical experience. METHODS Retrospective baseline information was obtained from Clinical Research Database (January 2016 to May 2021). At least 6 months after the last clinic visit, included subjects were prospectively followed up. RESULTS Three hundred and sixty-nine RCC and UCC patients (199 females, 53.9%) were analyzed. The median cough duration was 24.0 (12.0-72.0) months. Laryngeal symptoms were reported in 95.9% of the patients. The common triggers for coughing were talking (74.9%), pungent odors (47.3%), eating (45.5%), and cold air (42.8%). RCC was considered in 38.2%, and the remainder of 228 patients had UCC, with an equal sex distribution (P = 0.66). Among the 141 RCCs, 90.8% (128) had refractory reflux cough, which was more responsive to current treatments (P < 0.01). Although most features and test results between RCC and UCC were similar, UCC was more commonly inappropriately treated (P < 0.01). Nineteen (7.7-41.1) months after the final clinic visit, 31.2% still coughed persistently, while 68.8% reported cough improvement or remission. RCC reported more favorable treatment outcomes (including cough improvement, control, and spontaneous remission) than UCC (P < 0.01). Coughs with long duration before the initial cough clinic visit (P < 0.01), frequent urinary incontinence (P < 0.01), and being sensitive to "talking" (P < 0.01) or "cold air" (P < 0.01) were less likely to be solved. CONCLUSIONS The current treatments only improve cough symptoms in two-thirds of patients. Clinical indicators for treatment failure were those coughing for long duration and being sensitive to "talking" or "cold air."

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux-related chronic cough (GERC), is one common type of chronic cough. Drug treatment is effective for some GERC patients. But, there is refractory GERC (rGERC). For rGERC, fundoplication may be the only effective method. However, there were very few studies about laparoscopic fundoplication in treating rGERC, and the cure rate of fundoplication in treating rGERC was unknown. So there is a question, what is the cure rate of fundoplication in treating rGERC? To solve this question, we performed this meta-analysis. METHODS The PRISMA strategy and Cochrane collaboration method were used for this study. Our study was registered with PROSPERO (ID: CRD42021251072). We searched PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and the Cochrane databases from 1990 to December 2022. The meta-analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 14. RESULTS After selection and exclusion, 8 articles out of 672 were included. The meta-analysis showed the cure rate of laparoscopic fundoplication in treating rGERC was 62% (95% confidence interval: 53-71%), with no deaths in 503 patients. There was no significant heterogeneity or bias in the meta-analysis. CONCLUSIONS In terms of safety, laparoscopic fundoplication is quite reliable offered by skilled surgeons. In terms of cure rate, laparoscopic fundoplication could completely heal two-thirds of rGERC patients; however, there are still some patients who can not be completely cured by fundoplication.

[History of atopy reduces predictive value of fractional exhaled nitric oxide for eosinophilic airway inflammation in chronic cough]. NAN FANG YI KE DA XUE XUE BAO = JOURNAL OF SOUTHERN MEDICAL UNIVERSITY 2022; 42:1470-1475. [PMID: 36329580 PMCID: PMC9637498 DOI: 10.12122/j.issn.1673-4254.2022.10.05] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/08/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of a history of atopy on the value of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) for predicting sputum eosinophils in patients with chronic cough. METHODS A total of 868 patients with persistent cough lasting more than 3 weeks without pulmonary infection were enrolled, including 119 patients with subacute cough (defined as cough lasting 3-8 weeks) and 749 with chronic cough (longer than 8 weeks). The predictive value of FENO level for sputum eosinophilia was analyzed using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The atopy status of the patients was determined by screening for history of allergy, hay fever, or animal or food allergies. RESULTS Of the 868 patients enrolled, 173 patients (19.9%) had eosinophilic airway inflammation (EAI). In the overall patients, the median (Q1, Q3) FENO level was 18 (12, 35) ppb, ranging from 5 to 300 ppb. The patients with chronic cough and a positive history of atopy had a higher median FENO level than those without atopy (24 [13, 50] vs 18 [11, 34]; Z=2.25, P= 0.029), and FENO level was significantly correlated with EAI (r=0.281, P < 0.001). The AUCs of FENO for diagnosis of airway eosinophilia in patients with atopy and those without atopy were 0.677 (95% CI: 0.548-0.806) and 0.708 (95% CI: 0.660-0.756), respectively. The optimal cut-off value of FENO for diagnosing EAI was higher in patients with atopy than in those without atopy (72 vs 28.5 ppb). CONCLUSION A history of atopy reduces the predictive value of FENO level for EAI in patients with chronic cough, suggesting the importance of examining the atopic status when interpreting test results of FENO.

WAO-ARIA consensus on chronic cough - Part III: Management strategies in primary and cough-specialty care. Updates in COVID-19. World Allergy Organ J 2022; 15:100649. [PMID: 35600836 PMCID: PMC9117692 DOI: 10.1016/j.waojou.2022.100649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Chronic cough management necessitates a clear integrated care pathway approach. Primary care physicians initially encounter the majority of chronic cough patients, yet their role in proper management can prove challenging due to limited access to advanced diagnostic testing. A multidisciplinary approach involving otolaryngologists and chest physicians, allergists, and gastroenterologists, among others, is central to the optimal diagnosis and treatment of conditions which underly or worsen cough. These include infectious and inflammatory, upper and lower airway pathologies, or gastro-esophageal reflux. Despite the wide armamentarium of ancillary testing conducted in cough multidisciplinary care, such management can improve cough but seldom resolves it completely. This can be due partly to the limited data on the role of tests (eg, spirometry, exhaled nitric oxide), as well as classical pharmacotherapy conducted in multidisciplinary specialties for chronic cough. Other important factors include presence of multiple concomitant cough trigger mechanisms and the central neuronal complexity of chronic cough. Subsequent management conducted by cough specialists aims at control of cough refractory to prior interventions and includes cough-specific behavioral counseling and pharmacotherapy with neuromodulators, among others. Preliminary data on the role of neuromodulators in a proof-of-concept manner are encouraging but lack strong evidence on efficacy and safety. Objectives The World Allergy Organization (WAO)/Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) Joint Committee on Chronic Cough reviewed the recent literature on management of chronic cough in primary, multidisciplinary, and cough-specialty care. Knowledge gaps in diagnostic testing, classical and neuromodulator pharmacotherapy, in addition to behavioral therapy of chronic cough were also analyzed. Outcomes This third part of the WAO/ARIA consensus on chronic cough suggests a management algorithm of chronic cough in an integrated care pathway approach. Insights into the inherent limitations of multidisciplinary cough diagnostic testing, efficacy and safety of currently available antitussive pharmacotherapy, or the recently recognized behavioral therapy, can significantly improve the standards of care in patients with chronic cough.

Abstract
Background Individual studies have indicated variable prevalence for chronic cough, but thus far, there has been no systematic report on the prevalence of this condition. Methods In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese biomedical literature service system, Wanfang Database, and VIP database, for studies on chronic cough in China published before December 28, 2020. A random effects model was used to calculate pooled prevalence estimates with 95% confidence interval [95%CI], weighted by study size. Results Fifteen studies with 141,114 community-based adults were included in the study, showing a prevalence of 6.22% (95% CI 5.03–7.41%). And 21 studies with 164,280 community-based children were included, presenting a prevalence of 7.67% (95% CI 6.24–9.11%). In subgroup meta-analyses, the prevalence in adults was 4.38% (95% CI 2.74–6.02%) in southern China and 8.70% (95% CI 6.52–10.88%) in northern China. In the children population, the prevalence in northern China was also higher than in southern China (northern vs. southern: 7.45% with a 95% CI of 5.50–9.41%, vs. 7.86% with a 95% CI of 5.56–10.16%). Conclusions Our population-based study provides relatively reliable data on the prevalence of chronic cough in China and may help the development of global strategies for chronic cough management.

Eur Respir J 2021; 59:13993003.00725-2021. [PMID: 34649978 PMCID: PMC9176336 DOI: 10.1183/13993003.00725-2021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Background The purinoceptor subtype P2X3 has been shown to have significant involvement in the cough reflex; the heterotrimer version of the purinoceptor (P2X2/3) has been implicated in taste disturbance. The most advanced clinical candidate antagonist gefapixant has low selectivity among P2X3 receptors and induced taste disturbance, whereas newly developed sivopixant has high selectivity towards P2X3versus P2X2/3. Methods In a phase 2a, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, multicentre study, adult patients with refractory or unexplained chronic cough received oral sivopixant 150 mg or placebo once daily for 2 weeks, followed by a 2–3-week washout period, and then crossed over to placebo or sivopixant for 2 weeks. Efficacy and safety of sivopixant were evaluated. Results Of 31 randomised patients, 15 in the sivopixant-first group and 15 in the placebo-first group completed the study. After 2 weeks of treatment, the placebo-adjusted ratios of the average hourly number of coughs to baseline during daytime (primary end-point) and over 24 h (secondary end-point) were −31.6% (p=0.0546) and −30.9% (p=0.0386), respectively. Sivopixant also improved health-related quality of life. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 12.9% and 3.2% of patients during sivopixant and placebo administration, respectively. Mild taste disturbance occurred in two patients (6.5%) during sivopixant administration. Conclusions Sivopixant reduced objective cough frequency and improved health-related quality of life, with a low incidence of taste disturbance, among patients with refractory or unexplained chronic cough. This study shows the efficacy of a highly selective P2X3 receptor antagonist to reduce cough frequency, with low incidence of taste disturbance. Sivopixant may be a promising therapeutic option for refractory or unexplained chronic cough.https://bit.ly/3awojQH

Abstract
Background The clinical characteristics of patients with chronic cough are reported only in single-center survey in China, being significantly different from that in western countries. Here, we performed a multicenter study to describe the clinical characteristics of chronic cough patients. Methods
A cross-sectional observational survey was conducted in thirteen tertiary hospitals of Guangdong, South China. Relevant data were recorded using a standardized questionnaire and analyzed, including demographics, educational attainment, cough features, and concomitant symptoms. Results Of 933 patients in this study, the median age was 40.0 (IQR 31.0–52.0) years with a peaked age of 30–39 years. The proportion of females (487, 52.2 %) was comparable to that of males (446, 47.8 %). Up to 81.9 % of the patients were non-smokers. More than two-thirds of the subjects with chronic cough had a low educational level. The median cough duration was 6.0 (IQR 3.0–24.0) months, and 73.0 % of chronic cough patients presented with dry cough. Laryngeal paresthesia was the most common concomitant symptom (704, 75.5 %), followed by rhinitis/sinusitis-related (350, 37.5 %) and respiratory symptoms (322, 34.5 %). Rhinitis/sinusitis-related symptoms more frequently occurred in patients with productive cough than in those with dry cough (49.0 % vs. 33.0 %, P < 0.001). Moreover, female patients displayed an older age and a higher prevalence of nocturnal cough compared to male patients (both P < 0.05). Conclusions Our results show an equal gender, young profile and laryngeal paresthesia in patients with chronic cough, and different clinical features between females and males.

Abstract
Purpose The primary aim of this review was to identify environmental irritants known to trigger chronic cough through the life span and develop a comprehensive clinically useful irritant checklist. Method A scoping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews, checklist, and explanation. English-language, full-text resources were identified through Medline, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. Results A total of 1,072 sources were retrieved; of these, 109 were duplicates. Titles of abstracts of 963 articles were screened, with 295 selected for full-text review. Using the exclusion and inclusion criteria listed, 236 articles were considered eligible and 214 different triggers were identified. Triggers were identified from North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Occupational exposures were also delineated. Conclusions A clinically useful checklist of both frequently encountered triggers and idiosyncratic or rare triggers was developed. The clinical checklist provides a unique contribution to streamline and standardize clinical assessment of irritant-induced chronic cough. The international scope of this review extends the usefulness of the clinical checklist to clinicians on most continents.

Abstract
Cough is a common respiratory symptom that is considered to be chronic when it lasts more than eight weeks. When severe, chronic cough may significantly impact an individual's quality of life, and such patients are frequently referred for specialist evaluation. Current international guidelines provide algorithms for the management of chronic cough: in most cases, treatment of the underlying disease is sufficient to improve or resolve cough symptoms. Severe chronic cough may significantly affect patients' quality of life and necessitate frequent referral for specialist evaluations. In this narrative review, we summarize non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic management of adult patients with chronic cough of known cause that persists after proper treatment (chronic refractory cough, CRC) or chronic cough of unknown cause in adult patients. If chronic cough persists even after treatment of the underlying disease, or if the chronic cough is not attributable to any cause, then a symptomatic approach with neuromodulators may be considered, with gabapentin as the first choice, and opioids or macrolides as alternatives. Speech pathology treatment and/or neuromodulators should be discussed with patients and alternative options carefully considered, taking into account risk/benefit. Novel promising drugs are under investigation (e.g. P2×3 inhibitors), but additional studies are needed in this field. Speech pathology can be combined with a neuromodulator to give an enhanced treatment response of longer duration suggesting that non-pharmacologic treatment may play a key role in the management of CRC.
