OBJECTIVE
To examine selected social determinants of children's exposure to household tobacco use and smoking inside the home and to assess the effect of second-hand smoke exposure on asthma and ear infections across children's age groups.
METHODS
A total of 90,961 parents of children aged 0-17
Otitis media (OM) continues to be a major health problem of children in the United States. The role of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) as a predisposing factor has not been completely discerned. This study and discussion is an investigation and review of the influence of passive cigarette smoking
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has remained a controversial risk factor for otitis media in children. This study evaluates the association between exposure to ETS and recurrent acute otitis media (RAOM) in 85 cases and 85 age and gender matched controls under the age of 5 years. Cases
Tobacco smoke exposure has been attributed to a myriad of pediatric clinical outcomes, with a staggering financial burden to society. This article is an examination of published research that has focused on the relationship between tobacco smoke exposure and pediatric otitis media. The weight of
To determine whether tobacco smoke contributes to the pathogenesis of acute otitis media, chinchillas were exposed to mainstream tobacco smoke or sham conditions (cigarettes not lit) in a Walton smoke exposure machine for 20-minute cycles two or three times daily. After 6 to 8 weeks of daily
Environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke) is a health hazard experienced by one half to two thirds of the nation's children younger than 5 years of age. Although the role of environmental tobacco smoke in the genesis of pulmonary disease in children has been increasingly recognized, somewhat
BACKGROUND
Many, but not all, studies have found a correlation between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and acute otitis media (AOM) and other adverse otologic outcomes. Given its high personal and societal costs and the divergent findings of the effect of ETS on middle ear disease, the aim of the
Parental smoking is a possible risk factor in the development of secretory otitis media (SOM) in children. This experiment was designed to determine, using rats as an experimental model, whether exposures to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) produce SOM and whether ETS exposure affects the rate of
BACKGROUND
Prenatal exposure to environmental levels of organochlorines (OCs) has been demonstrated to have immunotoxic effects in humans. We investigated the relationship between prenatal exposure to OCs and the occurrence of otitis media (OM) among Inuit children in Greenland.
METHODS
We estimated
Secondhand smoke exposure is a potentially preventable cause of significant respiratory morbidity in young children. Our study aimed to quantify respiratory morbidity in young children exposed to secondhand smoke to identify potentially modifiable factors.
This study was embedded in a prospective
OBJECTIVE
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) poses an impact on the health of the newborns and infants. In Germany research about the tobacco-attributable morbidity and mortality has been conducted to a very small extent. This analysis examines all data from 16 federal states in regard to
Parental smoking is considered to be an important risk factor for the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). We studied the concentrations of nicotine and cotinine in the pericardial fluid of SIDS and non-SIDS victims, with particular emphasis on the relationship to body position at the time of death
OBJECTIVE
Knowledge of the harmful influence of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has a positive impact on changing social behaviours worldwide. In many homes smoking is totally prohibited; in some others, partial limitations of tobacco consumption have been introduced.
OBJECTIVE
To study the
OBJECTIVE
To assess pediatric resident and preceptor environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)-reduction practices and attitudes to inform the development of resident tobacco intervention training.
METHODS
Pediatricians in a teaching hospital anonymously completed a 65-item survey.
RESULTS
Residents' and
