INDIan Consensus on the mAnagemenT of cOugh at pRimary care setting (INDICATOR)
© Journal of the Association of Physicians of India 2011..
BACKGROUND: Cough has a prevalence of 9.6% globally and 5-10% in India. Though it is a reflex action, it affects an individual's quality of life (QoL) when uncontrolled. There was a need to create an integrated guidance document on managing cough focused on primary care physicians in the Indian setting. This consensus intends to bridge this gap by providing clinical recommendations to diagnose and manage cough in primary healthcare in India.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The modified Delphi method was used to arrive at a consensus on clinical statements. The panel comprised 10 experts, including pulmonologists, otolaryngologists, a pediatrician, and a general physician. The statements were discussed under the following domains: definition, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
RESULTS: A total of 109 clinical statements were framed, with 75 reaching consensus, 13 reaching near consensus, and 21 reaching no consensus. The experts recommended empiric use of nonopioid antitussive agents for symptomatic relief of acute dry cough. The use of oral antihistamines, oral decongestants, or mucoactive agents as a part of fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) in cough associated with rhinitis or upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) can be considered for symptomatic relief. Maintaining good hydration is important to manage a productive cough. Codeine-based preparations are to be considered as a last resort in patients with an unexplained chronic cough when other treatments have failed. Additionally, insights were captured on red flag signs, nonpharmacologic therapy, special populations, and referral to higher centers. Experts have also proposed a management algorithm with an integrated care pathway approach for acute, subacute, and chronic coughs.
CONCLUSION: The present consensus fills the existing need and may guide the physician to successfully diagnose and manage cough in the primary healthcare setting in India.
