A paper that changed my practice: S McKenzie. Cough but is it asthma? Arch Dis Child 1994;70:1-2.

Most doctors can identify key papers that have influenced their approach to the management of a particular clinical problem, although sometimes the gestation period of this effect can be very prolonged.

Published 22 December 2006 in Arch Dis Child, 92(1): 82-3.
