Abstract

To determine whether parental reports of smoking habits and modifications in smoking behavior are associated with urinary cotinine levels (UCLs), UCLs were measured in 77 asthmatic children. Parental reports and UCLs agreed for 58 of the 77 children (75%). Although UCLs of children whose parents smoked indoors and outdoors were significantly higher than UCLs of children whose parents did not smoke (p<0.0001, p<0.002, respectively), there was no statistically significant difference between the UCLs of children whose parents smoked indoors and outdoors (p = 0.286). We concluded that encouraging smoking parents of asthmatic children to smoke outdoors may not be an effective way to lessen exposure.

摘要

为了确定父母报告的吸烟习惯及吸烟行为的改变是否与尿可替宁水平（UCLs）相关，我们对77名哮喘儿童的尿可替宁水平进行了测量。在这77名儿童中，有58名（75%）儿童的父母报告情况与尿可替宁水平测量结果相符。尽管父母在室内和室外均吸烟的儿童的尿可替宁水平显著高于父母不吸烟的儿童（分别为p<0.0001和p<0.002），但父母在室内吸烟的儿童与在室外吸烟的儿童的尿可替宁水平之间无统计学显著差异（p = 0.286）。我们得出结论，鼓励患有哮喘的儿童的吸烟父母在室外吸烟可能不是减少暴露的有效方法。
