Are chronic cough and laryngopharyngeal reflux more common in obstructive sleep apnea patients?

ConclusionsOSA patients demonstrate worse chronic cough and LPR ‐related quality of life versus non‐OSA patients. Furthermore, the severity of these quality‐of‐life measures was correlated with the severity of the AHI. Chronic cough and particularly the pharyngeal LPR symptoms may be associated with the presence and severity of OSA.Level of Evidence2 .Laryngoscope, 2018
