Patients with current CC were defined by daily coughing for\u2009&gt;\u20098\u00a0weeks in the past 12\u00a0months and currently coughing at the time of survey.

Compared to CC patients who had not visited healthcare professionals for cough, those who visited reported more severe cough (VAS: 3.89\u2009\u00b1\u20091.71 vs. 4.6\u2009\u00b1\u20092.02; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.009), worse cough-specific quality of life (Leicester Cough Questionnaire: 16.20\u2009\u00b1\u20093.23 vs.13.45\u2009\u00b1\u20092.68, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), greater symptom severity (Hull Airway Reflux Questionnaire: 16.73\u2009\u00b1\u200915.16 vs. 24.57\u2009\u00b1\u200913.38; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and more urinary incontinence (13.6 vs. 26.5%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.027).
