Resumen

Objective To understand the perception of family doctors, pulmonologists and allergists about the current approach to chronic cough and its impact on patients’ quality of life. Material and methods Cross-sectional and anonymous survey disseminated through the scientific societies SEAIC, SEMERGEN, semFYC, SEMG and SEPAR. The participants were 620 family doctors, 92 pulmonologists and 62 allergists. A descriptive analysis of the answers was conducted. Response percentages, medians and interquartile intervals were presented. The differences in the percentages between specialties were evaluated with the chi-square. Results Only half of the respondents chose a duration greater than 8 weeks as a criterion for diagnosing chronic cough, and less than half considered refractory/unexplained chronic cough a disease in itself. Family doctors perceived that chronic cough had less impact on patients than did pulmonologists or allergists. After a diagnosis of refractory/unexplained chronic cough, all 3 specialties considered the most common approach to be to initiate treatment and to do the follow-up of the patient themselves. Most stated that they had no protocols for managing chronic cough, and more than 90% considered these to be necessary. Conclusions The management of patients with chronic cough by family doctors, pulmonologists or allergists seems to be heterogeneous. There is a need for protocols that standardise diagnosis, referral and treatment criteria to optimise patients’ management and reduce the impact of chronic cough.
