AIM To identify the prevalence and subjective adequacy of control of cough in patients with ILD. METHODS A cross-sectional study of patients with ILD attending a tertiary ILD clinic in Perth was undertaken using a pre-designed questionnaire that patients were invited to complete when attending clinic.

Participants were asked to list triggers of their cough and strategies or medications trialled to control cough. RESULTS Of 164 respondents, 118 (72%) had cough, with prevalence common in all ILD subtypes.
