Our study compared the results of self-report (SR) plus breath carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring to SR plus urine cotinine (COT) analysis of recent tobacco use for a recently completed smoking cessation study that compared the efficacy of different intensities of psychosocial treatments coupled with 8 weeks of patch treatment. Treatment outcomes were assessed 9, 26, and 52 weeks from treatment initiation in 200+ patients using both measurement types. COT was able to detect self-reported smoking in over 97% of the cases at all time points, while CO detected self-reported smoking 62, 84, and 89% of the time for the three follow-up assessments. Under 2% of those reporting nonsmoking were found to be smoking via CO, whereas COT found smoking to have occurred for 23, 15, and 7% of the 'nonsmoking' SRs at the three time points. Abstinence rates using SR plus CO were 49, 29, and 26%, contrasted with abstinence rates of 38, 26, and 25% for SR plus COT. These findings suggest that use of urine analysis for COT may lead to more accurate but lowered measured abstinence rates.
在一项刚刚完成的戒烟研究中,我们的研究比较了自我报告(SR)加呼气一氧化碳(CO)监测与SR加尿液可替宁(COT)分析在近期烟草使用情况方面的结果。该戒烟研究比较了不同强度心理社会治疗与8周贴片治疗相结合的疗效。在200多名患者中,从治疗开始后的第9周、26周和52周,使用这两种测量方法评估治疗结果。在所有时间点,COT能够在超过97%的病例中检测到自我报告的吸烟情况,而在三次随访评估中,CO检测到自我报告吸烟情况的时间分别为62%、84%和89%。在报告不吸烟的人群中,通过CO检测发现吸烟的比例不到2%,而在三个时间点,COT发现“不吸烟”的自我报告中有23%、15%和7%的人实际吸烟。使用SR加CO的戒烟率分别为49%、29%和26%,而SR加COT的戒烟率分别为38%、26%和25%。这些发现表明,使用尿液分析检测COT可能会得出更准确但测得的戒烟率较低的结果。
