Abstract
Asthma control in real life is less than optimal in substantially few patients. The importance of cough in asthma is highlighted by good correlation between cough and the ACT score in patients without comorbid rhinitis. In patients with comorbid rhinitis, cough appears related more to rhinitis than to asthma control. The combined use of the ACT and the CCIQ may be useful to improve asthma management, especially among patients in whom cough remains a prominent symptom.
