Observational Study of SIROPSEDAL in Acute Cough

Prospective Multicenter Before-After Study in Children and Adults Treated for Acute Cough With SIROPSEDAL

This prospective, multicenter, observational post-market clinical follow-up study evaluates the performance and safety of SIROPSEDAL in children and adults with acute cough treated in routine clinical practice. Patients prescribed SIROPSEDAL independently of study participation will be followed for 7 +/- 1 days using patient-reported outcomes including a cough visual analog scale and the Cough Symptom Score.

SIROPSEDAL is a CE-marked medical device syrup indicated for the relief of dry and productive cough in adults and children from 1 year of age. This non-interventional multicenter French study is conducted under real-life conditions of use. The primary objective is to evaluate the percentage of patients achieving a clinically meaningful reduction of at least 17 mm in cough intensity on a 0-100 mm visual analog scale between baseline and Day 2. Secondary outcomes include changes in cough intensity, Cough Symptom Score evolution, percentage of patients without cough, associated clinical signs, safety, device deficiencies and compliance.
