Cough is a common respiratory complication in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after surgery. Previous studies have proposed a number of risk factors for postoperative cough; however, these studies are mainly based on traditional thoracotomies and tend to lack adequate objective assessment methods. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors of cough in NSCLC patients after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) using the Leicester Cough Questionnaire in Mandarin Chinese (LCQ-MC) to evaluate postoperative cough.
