A ten-year case-control study of passive smoke exposure as a risk factor for pertussis in children
Schmidt, MA., Kurosky, S., Mullooly, JP., Chun, C., & Weinmann, S. (2015). A ten-year case-control study of passive smoke exposure as a risk factor for pertussis in children. Permanente Journal, 19(3), 59-63. https://doi.org/10.7812/TPP/14-233
The authors conducted a matched case-control study of laboratory-confirmed pertussis cases, occurring from 1/1/1996 to 12/31/2005, in children up to 12 years of age who were members of a large managed care organization. Sixty-five laboratoryconfirmed cases of pertussis were identified. Using multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis, the authors did not detect a statistically significant association between pertussis and household passive exposure to cigarette smoking
