(A) Percentages of survey participants who reported using cough assessment in clinical practice and those who reported not using cough assessment according to various reasons. Clinicians who reported use of cough assessment identified the (B) evaluation methods, which primarily consisted of subjective measures during clinical or instrumental swallow evaluations or during induced cough testing. Less frequently reported measures included objective (peak flow meter), quantitative (urge to cough rating), and other (endoscopy, manometer for respiratory pressures).
