Profiles of Cough and Associated Risk Factors in Nonhospitalized Individuals With SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant Infection: Cross-Sectional Online Survey in China. JMIR Public Health Surveill 2024; 10:e47453. [PMID: 38315527 PMCID: PMC10877488 DOI: 10.2196/47453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cough is a common symptom during and after COVID-19 infection; however, few studies have described the cough profiles of COVID-19. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, severity, and associated risk factors of severe and persistent cough in individuals with COVID-19 during the latest wave of the Omicron variant in China. METHODS In this nationwide cross-sectional study, we collected information of the characteristics of cough from individuals with infection of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant using an online questionnaire sent between December 31, 2022, and January 11, 2023. RESULTS There were 11,718 (n=7978, 68.1% female) nonhospitalized responders, with a median age of 37 (IQR 30-47) years who responded at a median of 16 (IQR 12-20) days from infection onset to the time of the survey. Cough was the most common symptom, occurring in 91.7% of participants, followed by fever, fatigue, and nasal congestion (68.8%-87.4%). The median cough visual analog scale (VAS) score was 70 (IQR 50-80) mm. Being female (odds ratio [OR] 1.31, 95% CI 1.20-1.43), having a COVID-19 vaccination history (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.37-2.12), current smoking (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.41-0.58), chronic cough (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.69-2.45), coronary heart disease (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.17-2.52), asthma (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.02-1.46), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.01-1.45) were independent factors for severe cough (VAS>70, 37.4%). Among all respondents, 35.0% indicated having a productive cough, which was associated with risk factors of being female (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.31-1.57), having asthma (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.52-2.22), chronic cough (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.19-1.74), and GERD (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.01-1.47). Persistent cough (>3 weeks) occurred in 13.0% of individuals, which was associated with the risk factors of having diabetes (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.30-3.85), asthma (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.11-2.62), and chronic cough (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.32-2.94). CONCLUSIONS Cough is the most common symptom in nonhospitalized individuals with Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant infection. Being female, having asthma, chronic cough, GERD, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and a COVID-19 vaccination history emerged as independent factors associated with severe cough, productive cough, and persistent cough.

ALLERGY, ASTHMA & IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH 2023; 15:795-811. [PMID: 37957796 PMCID: PMC10643855 DOI: 10.4168/aair.2023.15.6.795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Only limited studies have depicted the unique features and management of refractory chronic cough (RCC) and unexplained chronic cough (UCC). These led to the initiation of this study, which reported the demographic characteristics, manifestations, and long-term outcomes on a large series of consecutive RCC/UCC patients, providing a guideline-led real-world clinical experience. METHODS Retrospective baseline information was obtained from Clinical Research Database (January 2016 to May 2021). At least 6 months after the last clinic visit, included subjects were prospectively followed up. RESULTS Three hundred and sixty-nine RCC and UCC patients (199 females, 53.9%) were analyzed. The median cough duration was 24.0 (12.0-72.0) months. Laryngeal symptoms were reported in 95.9% of the patients. The common triggers for coughing were talking (74.9%), pungent odors (47.3%), eating (45.5%), and cold air (42.8%). RCC was considered in 38.2%, and the remainder of 228 patients had UCC, with an equal sex distribution (P = 0.66). Among the 141 RCCs, 90.8% (128) had refractory reflux cough, which was more responsive to current treatments (P < 0.01). Although most features and test results between RCC and UCC were similar, UCC was more commonly inappropriately treated (P < 0.01). Nineteen (7.7-41.1) months after the final clinic visit, 31.2% still coughed persistently, while 68.8% reported cough improvement or remission. RCC reported more favorable treatment outcomes (including cough improvement, control, and spontaneous remission) than UCC (P < 0.01). Coughs with long duration before the initial cough clinic visit (P < 0.01), frequent urinary incontinence (P < 0.01), and being sensitive to "talking" (P < 0.01) or "cold air" (P < 0.01) were less likely to be solved. CONCLUSIONS The current treatments only improve cough symptoms in two-thirds of patients. Clinical indicators for treatment failure were those coughing for long duration and being sensitive to "talking" or "cold air."

Mol Biotechnol 2023:10.1007/s12033-023-00935-4.

Abstract
Cough-variant asthma (CVA) has been recognized as the initial stage or pre-asthmatic state of classic asthma, which characterized by cough as the primary clinical presentation. Inhaled glucocorticoids, oral leukotriene receptor antagonists and antihistamines are the clinical treatments, but their efficacy is not satisfactory. Some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been reported to have certain advantages in the treatment of CVA, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Recent research has indicated that Anacyclus pyerhrurm (L) DC. is commonly used in the treatment of human diseases. The aim of our study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative mechanism of the ethanol extract of Anacyclus pyrethrum (L) DC. root (EEAP) in a model of CVA. In our study, we indicated that EEAP ameliorated CVA by reducing cough frequency and inflammatory effect and oxidative stress in an in vivo rat model of CVA. In addition, EEAP ameliorated LPS-induced cell apoptosis and regulated inflammatory effect and oxidative stress in vitro. Mechanistically, EEAP exerted anti-inflammatory effects through regulating the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and overexpressing TLR4 or activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by SKL2001 reversed EEAP-exerted effects in LPS-exposed BEAS-2B and 16-HBE cells. In conclusion, EEAP attenuated cell apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress through restraining the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and Wnt/β-catenin pathway in CVA, which shown that EEAP might be a promising therapeutic agent for CVA and may provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment with CVA patients.

[PMID: 37364722 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2023.107336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
Refractory chronic cough is defined as a clinical condition in which the cause of the cough remains unclear after comprehensive examination and treatment, or the cause is clear but symptomatic treatment is ineffective. Patients with refractory chronic cough experience a variety of physiological and psychological issues that significantly lower their quality of life and place a significant socio-economic burden on society. As a result, research both domestically and internationally has turned heavily toward these patients. Recently, several studies have identified P2X3 receptor antagonists for the treatment of refractory chronic cough, and this paper reviews the background, mechanism of action, evidence-based proof and application prospects of this class of drugs. KEY MESSAGE: There were plenty of studies about P2X3 receptor antagonists in the past, and in recent years this series of drugs are effective in refractory chronic cough. Although review articles summarizing have been published previously, most have focused on their chemical properties rather than their clinical aspects, with some omitting drugs that have been in clinical studies for nearly two years such as Eliapixant and Sivopixant. Focusing on four P2X3 receptor antagonists with proven efficacy in clinical studies, we analyzed the characteristics and disadvantages of each drug by comparing their clinical results of them and theoretically explained the common side effects of these drugs, as well as their potential for treating refractory chronic cough. This article can be used as a reference for the follow-up studies of P2X3 receptor antagonists in chronic cough. Additionally, it also has implications for the clinical focus of the drug and the approaches to relieve some side effects.

Abstract
Objective A comprehensive and systematic review is needed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Huangqi Xixin decoction (HQXXD) for cough variant asthma (CVA). In this systematic review, we comprehensively interrogate the safety and effectiveness of HQXXD for CVA. Methods An overall search for studies in main English and Chinese electronic databases from their inception to June 30, 2022, was performed. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving HQXXD for CVA were included. According to Cochrane Reviewer's Handbook, the risk of bias related to the included studies was evaluated. A meta-analysis using RevMan 5.4 software from the Cochrane Collaboration was used to integrate the outcomes of the included RCTs. Results A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using the seven eligible RCTs that had been retrieved. The included RCT-related risk of bias was evaluated. According to the findings of the meta-analysis, the HQXXD group had significantly higher total effective rates of clinical efficacy and airway responsiveness, and a significantly lower recurrence rate in comparison with the conventional Western medicine treatment group. Conclusion In the treatment of CVA patients, HQXXD is safe and effective, which benefits clinical efficacy and airway responsiveness, reduces the recurrence rate, and has no adverse effects.

Abstract
Background Individual studies have indicated variable prevalence for chronic cough, but thus far, there has been no systematic report on the prevalence of this condition. Methods In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese biomedical literature service system, Wanfang Database, and VIP database, for studies on chronic cough in China published before December 28, 2020. A random effects model was used to calculate pooled prevalence estimates with 95% confidence interval [95%CI], weighted by study size. Results Fifteen studies with 141,114 community-based adults were included in the study, showing a prevalence of 6.22% (95% CI 5.03–7.41%). And 21 studies with 164,280 community-based children were included, presenting a prevalence of 7.67% (95% CI 6.24–9.11%). In subgroup meta-analyses, the prevalence in adults was 4.38% (95% CI 2.74–6.02%) in southern China and 8.70% (95% CI 6.52–10.88%) in northern China. In the children population, the prevalence in northern China was also higher than in southern China (northern vs. southern: 7.45% with a 95% CI of 5.50–9.41%, vs. 7.86% with a 95% CI of 5.56–10.16%). Conclusions Our population-based study provides relatively reliable data on the prevalence of chronic cough in China and may help the development of global strategies for chronic cough management.

Abstract
Chronic cough is a common complaint for patients to seek medical cares all over the world. Worldwide, about two thirds of chronic cough patients are females. However, in some regions of China the prevalence of chronic cough between sexes is roughly the same. Estrogen and progesterone can not only have an effect on transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 channel, eosinophils and mast cells, but also influence laryngeal dysfunction, gastroesophageal reflux disease and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, which may lead to increased cough sensitivity in women. On the other hand, the quality of life was adversely affected more in female patients with chronic cough. Both hormones possibly cause gender difference in chronic cough.

Network Pharmacology Strategy to Investigate the Pharmacological Mechanism of HuangQiXiXin Decoction on Cough Variant Asthma and Evidence-Based Medicine Approach Validation. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:3829092. [PMID: 33178315 PMCID: PMC7647767 DOI: 10.1155/2020/3829092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2020] [Revised: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Objective To investigate the pharmacological mechanism of HuangQiXiXin decoction (HQXXD) on cough variant asthma (CVA) and validate the clinical curative effect. Methods The active compounds and target genes of HQXXD were searched using TCMSP. CVA-related target genes were obtained using the GeneCards database. The active target genes of HQXXD were compared with the CVA-related target genes to identify candidate target genes of HQXXD acting on CVA. A medicine-compound-target network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.6.0 software, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING database. Gene ontology (GO) function enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed using RGUI3.6.1 and Cytoscape 3.6.0. We searched the main database for randomized controlled trials of HQXXD for CVA. We assessed the quality of the included studies using the Cochrane Reviewers' Handbook. A meta-analysis of the clinical curative effect of HQXXD for CVA was conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.3 software. Results We screened out 48 active compounds and 217 active target genes of HQXXD from TCMSP. The 217 active target genes of HQXXD were compared with the 1481 CVA-related target genes, and 132 candidate target genes for HQXXD acting on CVA were identified. The medicine-compound-target network and PPI network were constructed, and the key compounds and key targets were selected. GO function enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed. Meta-analysis showed that the total effective rate of the clinical curative effect was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group. Conclusion The pharmacological mechanism of HQXXD acting on CVA has been further determined, and the clinical curative effect of HQXXD on CVA is remarkable.
