The PhD project will focus on the epidemiology of recurrent cough in childhood. Cough is common in children and contributes significantly to burden of disease, reduced quality of life and healthcare use. There is evidence that children with recurrent cough belong to more than one disease groups or phenotypes, some with life-long consequences leading to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adulthood. Yet, epidemiological data on cough in children are scarce.
