The new guideline replaces the 2012 guideline that recommended CVD risk assessment using the Framingham risk equation.

Cough in Children and Adults: Diagnosis, Assessment and Management (CICADA). Summary of an updated position statement on chronic cough in Australia

Cough is the most common symptom leading to medical consultation.
