该表单为针对聚焦上述重要临床问题的指南所报道分析(以系统综述为基础)内容进行的总结。


Confidence in the evidence is very low or low where GRADE has been performed and the intervention may be less effective or likely to be more harmful than the comparison for key outcomes. However, this is uncertain and new evidence could change this in the future.


人群: People with chronic cough and normal chest x-ray and physical examination

干预: Chest CT scan

比较: No chest CT scan

结局效能(BMJ 评价)?证据可信度(GRADE)?

Diagnostic yield

See note ᵃ

Very Low

源指南所述建议

We suggest that clinicians do not routinely perform a chest CT scan in patients with chronic cough who have a normal chest radiograph and physical examination.

注意

ᵃ The content of this table is based on four observational studies. One prospective study found that the diagnostic yield of chest CT scan was 3/46 (6.5%) participants, while three retrospective studies produced the following results: 20/34 (58%) participants, 9/21 (43%) participants, and 21/59 (36%) participants.

The guideline task force noted that the variation in the above results, regarding the diagnostic yield of CT scan, were unlikely to explain the cause of coughs or influence treatment.

The guideline task force also noted that there is concern about the potential cancer risk from CT radiation exposure, particularly in children and women, which should be weighed against any diagnostic yields.
