Methods: Patients were identified as being referred for cough between 2005 and 2010. Initial consultation and clinical encounters were reviewed and diagnostic studies/therapies recorded. Findings on diagnostic studies were noted if they aided in treatment. Response to therapies was determined by reviewing clinical encounter documentation and therapies were rated: no response, partial response, or complete response.
