Abstract
The results suggest that GERD influences CACT, which was significantly lower in GERD patients compared to healthy subjects. A significant correlation was found between subjective and objective measurements of cough in GERD patients. We found laparoscopic fundoplication to be objectively beneficial in GERD-induced chronic cough, as it reduced the CACT.
