a randomized trial of a brief intervention to promote smoking cessation for parents during Child Hospitalization
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2013Co-Authors: Shawn L Ralston, Charmaine Grohman, Dana Word, Janet WilliamsAbstract:Background Parental smoking significantly increases the risk of Child Hospitalization for multiple illnesses. Parenting smokers may not have easy access to smoking cessation services elsewhere and a few interventions with this population in the inpatient setting have shown promising results. Methods We sought to evaluate the efficacy of a brief intervention with smoking parents on smoking cessation rates after Child Hospitalization with a randomized, controlled trial. Results Sixty smoking parents participated in the study. The majority of study participants were uninsured women under age 30 who smoked approximately half of a pack per day. There were no statistically significant differences between control and intervention groups for our outcomes. However, 45% (CI: 33–57%) of all participants reported at least one quit attempt during the 2-month study period and 18% (CI: 10–30%) of participants were quit at study conclusion. Conclusions Willingness to quit smoking was much higher than expected in this population of parenting smokers. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2013; 48:608–613. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

a randomized controlled trial of smoking cessation counseling provided during Child Hospitalization for respiratory illness
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2008Co-Authors: Shawn L Ralston, Mahshid RoohiAbstract:The impact of parental smoking on Children is enormous. Injury and illness related to parental smoking result in 6,200 excess pediatric deaths per year, which places smoking as the leading preventable cause of death in US Children. Parental smoking doubles the risk of Child Hospitalization for respiratory illness therefore pediatricians have frequent contact with smoking parents. A single study has previously investigated the effect of Child Hospitalization on parental smoking cessation. Smoking caregivers of Children hospitalized for respiratory illness at the University of New Mexico were offered a smoking cessation intervention during the Child's Hospitalization. Participants were randomized to receive either a brief anti-smoking message or more extensive counseling based on current clinical practice guidelines. Forty-two parents enrolled in the study. Fourteen percent of participants in the counseling group and 5% in the brief message group were self-reported quitters at 6 months. A significant percentage of smoking parents of Children hospitalized for respiratory illness are willing to receive smoking cessation counseling while their Child is in the hospital. Abstinence rates appear similar to other pediatric office-based interventions. Child Hospitalization should be considered an important opportunity to provide parents with smoking cessation services, particularly since many smoking parents will not have access to these services elsewhere.

antenatal and postnatal maternal depressive symptoms and trajectories and Child Hospitalization up to 24 months of life findings from the 2015 pelotas brazil birth cohort study
The journal of pediatrics: X, 2021Co-Authors: Nadege Jacques, Marilia Arndt Mesenburg, Joseph Murray, Andrea Dâmaso Bertoldi, Marlos Rodrigues Domingues, Alan Stein, Mariangela F SilveiraAbstract:Objective To examine the association between antenatal and postnatal maternal depression symptoms, and Child Hospitalization during the first 2 years of life in the 2015 Pelotas Birth Cohort Study. Study design This is an observational study. Maternal depressive symptoms of 4275 mothers were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Hospitalization of the Child for any reason was assessed using maternal report. Bivariate analysis and multivariate Poisson regressions were used to assess the association between maternal depressive symptoms and Child Hospitalization. Results Compared with Children of mothers with low depressive symptoms, Children whose mothers experienced significant antenatal depressive symptoms were 1.74 (95% CI, 1.16-2.60) times more likely to be hospitalized by 3 months of age, and 2.14 (95% CI, 1.46-3.14) times more likely up to 24 months. For Children whose mothers experienced severe postnatal depressive symptoms at 3 months, the risks for Hospitalization by age 12 months were 1.84 (95% CI, 1.39-2.45) higher than Children whose mothers had low depressive symptoms. There was an increased risk of Hospitalization for Children according to the severity of depressive trajectories across time. Conclusions Maternal depressive symptoms are a risk factor for Hospitalization in Children up to 2 years of age, and this risk increases with increased severity of depression. These results have public health relevance for decreasing the risk factors in mothers that can lead to Hospitalization in Children.

prenatal and postnatal maternal depression and infant Hospitalization and mortality in the first year of life a systematic review and meta analysis
Journal of Affective Disorders, 2019Co-Authors: Nadege Jacques, Marilia Arndt Mesenburg, Christian Loret De Mola, Gary Joseph, Mariangela F SilveiraAbstract:Abstract Background Prenatal and postnatal depression have been well studied in recent decades, but few studies address their relationship with Hospitalization and mortality in one-year-old Children. Objective Review the literature about the effects of maternal depression on Hospitalization and mortality of the Child from birth to one year of age and conduct a meta-analysis. Methods A systematic search was performed in the PubMed and LILACS databases. We included original studies that evaluated the effect of prenatal and/or postnatal depressive symptoms on Child Hospitalization or mortality up to one year of age. Meta-analyses were conducted according to the outcome and stratified by prenatal and postnatal depression, using random effects models. Results Six studies were included in this review (170,371). Children of mothers with prenatal and postnatal depressive symptoms or depression had 1.44 (CI95% 1.10 – 1.89) greater risk of Hospitalization, and Children of mothers with postnatal depressive symptoms or depression had 1.93 (CI95% 1.02–3.64) greater risk of death before one year of age than those whose mothers did not have the disorder. Limitations Small number of studies (n Conclusion Maternal depressive symptoms or depression have an unfavorable effect on Hospitalization and mortality in Children up to one year of age. This finding is relevant to public health and should stimulate the systematic screening of prenatal and postnatal depressive symptoms, so that adequate care can be provided for women and their Children.

exposure to paternal tobacco smoking increased Child Hospitalization for lower respiratory infections but not for other diseases in vietnam
Scientific Reports, 2017Co-Authors: Reiko Miyahara, Kensuke Takahashi, Nguyen Thi Hien Anh, Vu Dinh Thiem, Motoi Suzuki, Hiroshi Yoshino, Le Huu Tho, Hiroyuki Moriuchi, Sharon E CoxAbstract:Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is an important modifiable risk factor for Child Hospitalization, although its contribution is not well documented in countries where ETS due to maternal tobacco smoking is negligible. We conducted a birth cohort study of 1999 neonates between May 2009 and May 2010 in Nha Trang, Vietnam, to evaluate paternal tobacco smoking as a risk factor for infectious and non-infectious diseases. Hospitalizations during a 24-month observation period were identified using hospital records. The effect of paternal exposure during pregnancy and infancy on infectious disease incidence was evaluated using Poisson regression models. In total, 35.6% of 1624 Children who attended follow-up visits required at least one Hospitalization by 2 years of age, and the most common reason for Hospitalization was lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). Paternal tobacco smoking independently increased the risk of LRTI 1.76-fold (95% CI: 1.24-2.51) after adjusting for possible confounders but was not associated with any other cause of Hospitalization. The population attributable fraction indicated that effective interventions to prevent paternal smoking in the presence of Children would reduce LRTI-related Hospitalizations by 14.8% in this epidemiological setting.
