Using patient-reported outcomes, this cohort study assessed the perceived impact of chronic cough on QoL and everyday life in patients from outpatient hospital clinics with refractory chronic cough (RCC) or unexplained chronic cough (UCC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a multicentre, non-interventional survey study. Cough severity was assessed on a 0\u2212100\u2005mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Frequency, intensity and disruptiveness of cough were assessed using an adaptation of the Cough Severity Diary. The impact of cough on QoL was assessed using the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ). The physical impact of cough and associated impact on everyday life activities were explored using purpose-designed questions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>191 patients responded to the survey; 121 (63.4%) had RCC and 149 were women (78.0%). Mean score on the cough severity VAS was 62.9\u2005mm. Mean LCQ total score of 11.9 indicated reduced QoL. Cough impaired patients\u2019 everyday life, including the inability to speak fluently (58.0% of patients) and feeling tired\/drained (46.6%). Women perceived poorer chronic cough-related QoL than men, as reflected by lower LCQ scores, and greater impairment of physical health, including cough-related stress urinary incontinence, and psychological health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with RCC\/UCC experience a significant burden in their everyday life, including impaired QoL, and perceive a negative impact on physical and psychological health and everyday activities, affecting work, relationships and leisure activities.
