Experiencing chronic cough symptoms for 3 years is associated with increased rates of healthcare resource use and higher healthcare costs in the United States compared to resolved chronic cough
After adjusting for baseline differences, persistent symptoms of CC were associated with significantly higher comorbidity, healthcare resource use, and healthcare costs compared to CC that resolved. Effective treatments for RCC would thus be expected to result in improved health as well as substantial healthcare cost offsets.
