Recommendations
1. In adult and adolescent patients with chronic cough due to asthma, we suggest that non-invasive measurement of airway inflammation has clinical utility and the presence of eosinophilic airway inflammation is likely to be associated with a more favorable response to corticosteroids (2B)
Remarks: The evidence supporting a role for non-invasive measurement of airway inflammation in asthma, especially severe asthma (ATS/ERS Guideline), in predicting a beneficial response to corticosteroids is moderate. However, cough-specific studies in asthma are limited as this symptom is not included as a specific symptom of asthma control and is generally not captured independently of other symptoms in most studies of asthma.
