Overview
The accurate classification of cough is the first step to accurately diagnosing it. in 1998 the American college of chest physicians (CHEST), Expert cough panel postulated that cough should be classified based on its duration. Prior to this, a detailed patient history about the character, timing, sputum production, etc was utilized when evaluating cough; however, the panel found out that these parameters are not sufficient in establishing a definite etiology of cough.
The first expert panel in 1998 had initially classified cough as acute cough( ie lasting < 3 weeks) and chronic cough (ie, lasting 3-8 weeks) but the second American college of chest physicians ACCP panel in 2006 reclassified cough into 3 categories based on its duration as listed below.
Classification
Cough may be classified into 3 groups:[1]
- Acute coughs last less than 3 weeks.
- Subacute coughs last between 3 and 8 weeks.
- Chronic coughs last longer than 8 weeks.
