Cough is one of the most common reasons patients present to primary and secondary health care. While chronic cough alone can bring huge impacts on patients, little was known about the natural history of chronic cough. Therefore I aim to explore potential risk factors, phenotypes of chronic cough in adults, using the Tasmania Longitudinal Healthy study.
