Background: This study aims to evaluate the children with chronic cough and to analyze their etiological factors
according to the age groups.
Method: Five hundred sixty-three children with chronic cough were included. The last diagnosis were established
and were also emphasized according to the age groups.
Results: The mean age was 5.4 ± 3.8 years (2-months–17-years) and 52 % of them were male. The most common
final diagnosis from all the participants were: asthma (24.9 %), asthma-like symptoms (19 %), protracted bacterial
bronchitis (PBB) (11.9 %), and upper airway cough syndrome (9.1 %). However, psychogenic cough was the second
most common diagnosis in the subjects over 6 years of age.
Conclusion: Asthma and asthma-like symptoms were the most common diagnosis in children. Different age groups in
children may have a different order of frequencies. Psychogenic cough should be thought of in the common causes
especially in older children.
