Construction of a set of descriptive acoustic cough features (ACCOUGH)Identification of a new set of acoustic cough features in a sample of a healthy population (reference data)Comparison between acoustic voluntary and reflexive cough features as well as acoustic features of throat clearingSelection of descriptive acoustic cough featuresValidation of the ACCOUGH features as biomarkers of P/A in HNC patients (ACCOUGH-P/A)Identification of the ACCOUGH features in samples of HNC patientsInvestigation of the correlation between ACCOUGH features and observed P/A in HNC patientsCorrelation between ACCOUGH and aerodynamic cough featuresInvestigation of the correlation in a sample of a healthy populationInvestigation of the correlation in samples of HNC patientsInvestigation of the correlation between ACCOUGH-P/A and acoustic voice features in samples of HNC patientsInvestigation of the relation between voice quality abnormalities and observed P/A in samples of HNC patients
