The full study protocol is described elsewhere<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">17</xref> and was approved by the Children's Health Queensland (HREC/11/QRCH/83), and the Queensland University of Technology (2012000700). Human Research Ethics Committees.</p><p>Children were excluded if they had a known underlying medical condition, including chronic pulmonary disorders (except asthma); were receiving immunomodulating drugs (except short‐course (<2‐weeks) oral and ongoing maintenance inhaled corticosteroids) in the 30‐days prior to presentation; or insufficient English to understand the requirements of the study. Parents/guardians gave written, informed consent, while participants aged <underline underline-style="single">></underline>12‐years also provided their assent.</p><p>Sociodemographic and presenting clinical features were recorded on enrolment and a bilateral anterior nasal swab was collected using the Virocult<bold>®</bold> Specimen Collection system (Medical Wire and Equipment, Wiltshire, England). Children were followed weekly for 28‐days to ascertain cough persistence. Previously validated, parent‐completed, daily cough diary cards, and weekly telephone/email contacts were implemented to record cough type (wet/dry), severity and duration.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0018" ref-type="ref">18</xref> Loss to follow‐up was defined as two consecutive weeks where weekly contacts were unsuccessful. If it was known a child had stopped coughing prior to loss‐to‐follow, cough persistence at day‐28 was classified as “no.” The decision to hospitalize a child and the assessment of persistent cough at day‐28 were undertaken by physicians blinded to the PCR results. Laboratory testing occurred upon completion of the study and the laboratory blinded to the clinical data.</p><p>Nasal swabs were stored at−80°C within 24‐hr of collection before being batch tested at the Queensland Paediatric Infectious Diseases Laboratory, RCH, for respiratory viruses and bacterial pathogens using previously validated polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">17</xref> Virus testing included adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) types A and B, influenza virus types A and B, parainfluenza virus types 1–3, human metapneumovirus, rhinoviruses, human coronaviruses (OC43, 229E, NL63 + HKU1), human bocavirus, and human polyomaviruses KI and WU.

Nasal swabs were collected from 827 (94.4%) enrolled children; median age 27.7‐months (IQR 13.9–60.3) and 498 (60.2%) were male. Ten swabs were excluded due to inhibition during laboratory processing leaving 817 children providing nasal swabs for analysis. Of these, 116 (14.2%, 95%CI 11.8, 16.6) children were hospitalized for their illness and 163 (20.0%, 95%CI 17.2, 22.7) had persistent cough at day‐28 following enrolment. Cough status at day‐28 was unknown for 233 children (28.5%); 107 (45.9%) of these children were lost to follow‐up within the first 14‐days.

In contrast, cough duration at the time of enrolment of greater than 14‐days and being <italic>M</italic>. <italic>catarrhalis</italic> positive on nasal swab were the only factors associated with an increased risk of cough persistence at day‐28. Enrolment during the spring months and, although the actual number of children was small, having received oxygen therapy whilst in the ED were associated with a reduced risk of persistent cough.</p><p>The high prevalence of any organism overall detected in our study is consistent with other studies of pediatric ARI that have utilized molecular methods reflecting the higher sensitivity of PCR compared to traditional culture methods.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0019" ref-type="ref">19</xref> Further, we tested for an extensive range of organisms, some of which are infrequently assessed in combination with other organisms in clinical or research settings that focus on ARI (for example, the coronavirues, bocavirus, and polyomaviruses). Similarly, the high prevalence of <italic>S. pneumoniae</italic> in the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine era reflects our use of PCR, the diversity of serotypes that continue to circulate in the pediatric population and that overall carriage of any <italic>S. pneumoniae</italic> is not affected by vaccination.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0020" ref-type="ref">20</xref></p><p>The relationship between RSV detection and hospitalization is consistent with other studies where it is associated with disease severity,<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0021" ref-type="ref">21</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0022" ref-type="ref">22</xref> particularly with high virus loads.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0005" ref-type="ref">5</xref> However, the association in our study was relatively weak and this may reflect the small sample of young infants in our study population in whom RSV is generally associated with more severe disease. The clinical signs of tachypnea and hypoxemia triggering oxygen administration are also established markers of severe lower airway disease in children,<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0023" ref-type="ref">23</xref> particularly if cough is present.</p><p>The number of other children in the house as an independent predictor of hospitalization is less readily explained. It may suggest different caring patterns leading to delayed presentation of the unwell child at an ED, social issues associated with a physician's decision to admit the child from ED, or the intensity of transmission and increased microbial load possibly associated with household crowding.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0024" ref-type="ref">24</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0025" ref-type="ref">25</xref> Overcrowding is a recognized risk factor for pediatric ARI hospitalization in several settings.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0026" ref-type="ref">26</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0027" ref-type="ref">27</xref> While child numbers in the house was a determinant of hospitalization in our study, the total number of people living in the house and the number of people per bedroom were not. A US study<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0028" ref-type="ref">28</xref> found having older siblings was associated with an increased risk of respiratory symptoms, ED visits and hospitalizations, although this contrasted with their previous study of wheeze and allergic rhinitis in a similar population.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0029" ref-type="ref">29</xref> Finally, a chance finding cannot be discounted given the large number of variables and analyses performed on our dataset.</p><p>Our study is the first to report predictors of persistent cough (>4‐weeks as defined in the American and Australian pediatric chronic cough guidelines<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0030" ref-type="ref">30</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0031" ref-type="ref">31</xref>) in children post‐acute presentation that included comprehensive microbiologic data together with clinical and epidemiologic factors, and modeled for unknown cough status at day‐28. Hence, our finding with respect to <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> is novel. <italic>M</italic>. <italic>catarrhalis</italic> carriage in healthy children varies worldwide and estimates range from 20% to 80%, depending on geographic location, socio‐economic status, age, and method of identification.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0032" ref-type="ref">32</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0033" ref-type="ref">33</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0034" ref-type="ref">34</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0035" ref-type="ref">35</xref> Hence, associating <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> in the upper airways with respiratory disease is complex and its individual association with symptoms in ARI is not well studied. A Finnish study of 426 children with acute respiratory symptoms found cough was positively associated with <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> (OR 1.9, 95%CI 1.2, 3.2) as well as RSV (OR 7.2, 95%CI 1.6, 32.7) and parainfluenza viruses (OR 2.8, 95%CI 1.0, 7.7). <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0036" ref-type="ref">36</xref> Nevertheless, caution is required in interpreting these findings as 86% of children with <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> had respiratory virus co‐detections.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0036" ref-type="ref">36</xref></p><p>There are limited data on the role of <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> in symptom persistence. A small study of 82 children<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0037" ref-type="ref">37</xref> with ARI reported cough lasted significantly longer in children harboring <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> in their anterior nares at study entry than those who were not, but the actual duration was unreported. <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> in the nasopharynx was also associated with persistent cough >9‐days in Swedish pre‐school children,<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0038" ref-type="ref">38</xref> although respiratory viruses were not included in that study. Similarly, a double‐blind randomized, placebo‐controlled trial of amoxicillin‐clavulanate in 52 children with cough >10‐days<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0039" ref-type="ref">39</xref> reported <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> as the dominant nasopharyngeal organism (71% of children) and the group allocated antibiotics had significantly better treatment response than those receiving placebo. Recovery was also more rapid in an open label trial of erythromycin in 40 children with prolonged cough<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0040" ref-type="ref">40</xref> that evaluated the nasopharyngeal prevalence of <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> in the untreated group: 20% of those colonized recovered within 1‐week compared to 75% of those who were not colonized (<italic>P</italic> = 0.01).</p><p><italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> is commonly detected in the lower airways of children with chronic suppurative lung disease, including bronchiectasis,<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0041" ref-type="ref">41</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0042" ref-type="ref">42</xref> and in those with protracted bacterial bronchitis.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0043" ref-type="ref">43</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0044" ref-type="ref">44</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0045" ref-type="ref">45</xref> However, as with ARI, its individual role in the pathogenesis of disease is unknown. Our data, the limited existing studies of <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> and cough duration in children, and the increasing data on its prevalence in the lower airways of children with chronic lung disease suggest it may have an important role in chronic cough development in children, warranting further study. Importantly, data on whether the association between <italic>M.catarrhalis</italic> and chronic cough is related to its presence as a single pathogen or due to co‐infection with other viruses and/or bacteria are not available. Our analyses controlled for co‐infection, but evaluating the role of <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> as a single pathogen was not feasible given it was found in isolation in only 4.4% of episodes.</p><p>We found enrolment in the spring months was associated with a lower risk of persistent cough, and this potentially reflects the seasonality of respiratory viruses and bacteria identified in the overall study on which this paper is based.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0046" ref-type="ref">46</xref> The data associated with the protective effect of oxygen supplementation in the ED are interesting, although not immediately plausible, and difficult to interpret given the small numbers of children involved. It might reflect the more aggressive and supervised management of severe acute disease received in hospital and subsequent reduced risk of adverse sequelae.</p><p>Children for whom cough status was unknown at day‐28 were more likely to be enrolled during the autumn or spring months, have a longer duration of cough at presentation and be Bocavirus positive on nasal swab at enrolment. The seasonal findings are consistent with a reduced risk of cough at day‐28 in those for whom the outcome was known, suggesting an illness with a more acute duration. This may also explain both the rate of loss to follow‐up prior in the 2‐weeks following ED presentation and the increased risk of cough status being unknown if the cough duration at ED presentation was greater than 14‐days. Data from systematic reviews suggest only 10% of children attending primary care with a cough have this symptom 21‐days later.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0047" ref-type="ref">47</xref> Hence, it is plausible that many children lost to follow‐up had stopped coughing and parents chose not to continue in the study, particularly given the study incentive of providing children with rapid access (within 2‐weeks of day 28) to a pediatric pulmonologist if persistent cough was present.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">17</xref> The association with Bocavirus and cough status being unknown is difficult to explain and may be either an anomaly of the data or related to milder illness given the severity of Bocavirus respiratory infections in children may be more dependent on viral load and/or co‐detection.<xref rid="ppul23527-bib-0048" ref-type="ref">48</xref></p><p>Our study is not without limitations. The microbiologic data are point prevalence only and do not account for carriage duration and/or infection prior to the acute illness, nor new infections in the 28‐days post‐presentation, while data from asymptomatic healthy controls are also lacking. The single‐center study population may also not be representative of all children with cough presenting to EDs, particularly given our lower recruitment rates in young infants. Further, those whose parents consented to participate in the study may have had different characteristics and outcomes to those who did not, particularly children who were not approached in the ED given their critical illness or alternatively rapid assessment and discharge.</p><p>In summary, we evaluated the predictors of outcomes in children presenting to a pediatric ED with an ARI that included cough. Hospitalization was more likely in those from a crowded household, having decreased peripheral oxygen saturation, receiving supplemental oxygen and with RSV infection. In contrast, we found a possible role for <italic>M. catarrhalis</italic> in developing a persistent cough post‐ARI. Our microbiological findings are likely to have little immediate application in the clinical setting, however they provide important epidemiological data to better understand the etiology of the development of chronic cough in children. Further studies collecting prospective clinical specimens in the weeks following an ARI are warranted, particularly given the burden of chronic cough in children and its relationship with chronic lung disease.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supporting information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data"><p>Additional supporting information may be found in the online version of this article at the publisher's web‐site.</p></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data"><caption><p>Supplement Tables</p></caption><media xlink:href="PPUL-52-373-s001.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data"><caption><p>Supplement Tables</p></caption><media xlink:href="PPUL-52-373-s002.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><ack id="ppul23527-sec-0009"><title>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS</title><p>The authors thank the staff of the then Royal Children's Hospital Emergency Department, Respiratory Department, and Medical Records for their assistance with this study.
