Cotinine in Children Admitted for Asthma and Readmission

JA Howrylak, AJ Spanier, B Huang. Pediatrics. 2014;133(2). Available at: www.pediatrics.org/cgi/content/full/133/2/e355 The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between tobacco smoke exposure (caregiver reported versus serum or salivary biomarkers) and rates of readmission for children hospitalized for asthma. This prospective cohort included 774 children aged 1 to 16 years admitted to the hospital for asthma or bronchodilator-responsive wheezing. Of these, 619 children had complete tobacco exposure information. The primary outcome was ≥1 asthma or wheeze-related readmission within 1 year of enrollment in the study. Those results were then stratified based …
