Azithromycin, oesophageal function, and cough in chronic respiratory disease

This thesis explored the potential for azithromycin to improve outcomes in chronic respiratory disease through its effects on gastrointestinal motility. The research involved an examination of the effect of azithromycin on continuously recorded objective cough frequency using different methods of cough analysis, including the Vitalograph VitaloJAK device, which was described as "the pre-eminent tool utilized in large-scale clinical trials of novel antitussive therapeutics over the past decade".
