Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Efficacy:Change in Cough Frequency based on parent responses to the Pediatric Cough Questionnaire
Time Frame: Baseline (night 1) and End of night 2
|
Change from baseline in cough frequency between the first night and the end of the second night.
Parents/caregivers will complete a Pediatric Cough Questionnaire (a subjective parent report of cough) using a 0-6 point Likert scale with 0=not at all to 6=extremely often to assess frequency of cough.
The same parent/caregiver that completed the questionnaire in the clinic will be asked to complete the questionnaire during the follow-up telephone call.
