By Sofia Ögefeldt, Greta Öhlund Wistbacka, Ellika Schalling and 9 others.
Abstract
Background
Voice problems are frequently reported among users of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), but it remains unclear whether these problems reflect pharmacological effects, asthma, or comorbid chronic cough.
Aim
This study aimed to examine the association between ICS use and voice problems in a Nordic population-based cohort, accounting for asthma symptoms and chronic cough. Secondary aims included dose–response patterns and differences by inhaler device type.
