Fig. 1From: Clinical significance of self-reported cough intensity and frequency in patients with interstitial lung disease: a cross-sectional studyAssociation of intensity and frequency of cough with CPI. A statistically significant association was observed between intensity and frequency of cough and CPI in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. However, in connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease, only the frequency of cough correlated with CPI.
