Secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure of children and their families causes significant morbidity and mortality. In their personal and professional roles, pediatricians have many opportunities to advocate for elimination of SHS exposure of children, to counsel tobacco users to quit, and to counsel children never to start. This report discusses the harms of tobacco use and SHS exposure, the extent and costs of tobacco use and SHS exposure, and the evidence that supports counseling and other clinical interventions in the cycle of tobacco use. Recommendations for future research, policy, and clinical practice change are discussed. To improve understanding and provide support for these activities, the harms of SHS exposure are discussed, effective ways to eliminate or reduce SHS exposure are presented, and policies that support a smoke-free environment are outlined.

ABSTRACT. Objective. To examine differences in patterns of and barriers to health care utilization between black and white children who have frequent ear infections (FEI).Methods. Analysis was conducted using the 1997 and 1998 National Health Interview Survey-Sample Child Files. Data on 25 497 children under 18 years of age and 1985 who were reported by the parent/guardian to have had "3 or more ear infections during the past 12 months" were analyzed. The data were weighted and analyzed to represent all black and white children nationwide, accounting for the complex survey design.Results. Of white and black children under 18 years of age in the United States, 8.0 and 6.6%, respectively, had FEI in the past year. Among those with FEI, whites and blacks exhibited significantly different patterns in the type of health insurance they had and in the usual source of care. After accounting for sociodemographic factors, health insurance, and usual source of care, there were still significant differences in health care use between whites and blacks. The affected black children had an increased risk of getting delayed care because of transportation problems (odds ratio [OR]: 2.32) and a reduced likelihood of seeing a medical specialist (OR: 0.49) and having surgery (OR: 0.39) in comparison to white children.Conclusion. Although black children with FEI were as likely as white children to be covered by health insurance and have a usual place of health care, they were significantly more likely to face barriers in obtaining the care, especially the more specialized care.

“…Around 74% of the children in the group of cases and 55% in the control group were exposed to passive smoking (p = 0.046). 83 of other studies that also did not demonstrate any increased risk for non-recurrent AOM. However, this risk was slightly increased by gestational exposure (prevalence ratio of 1.08; 95%CI 1.01-1.14) and by the combined exposure to tobacco smoke (adjusted prevalence ratio 1.07; 95%CI 1.00-1.14).…”

Objective: Review evidence about modifiable risk factors for recurrent acute otitis media.Source of data: MEDLINE with no language restriction, from January 1966 to July 2005, using descriptors acute otitis media/risk factors. Two hundred and fifty-seven articles were obtained. These included randomized clinical trials, cohorts, case-control and cross-sectional studies that contained analyses of modifiable risk factors for the development of recurrent acute otitis media as the main objective and with samples of individuals up to the age of 18 years. Except when relevant, the following were excluded: non-systematic reviews, reports of cases, series of cases, and medical society guidelines. Summary of data:Nine risk factors linked to the host and eight linked to the environment were identified. Of the first group, allergy, craniofacial abnormalities, gastroesophageal reflux and the presence of adenoids were classified as modifiable. In the second category, upper airway infections, day care center attendance, presence of siblings/family size, passive smoking, breastfeeding and use of pacifiers were included. Afterwards, the risk factors were classified in accordance with levels of evidence. Conclusions:The risk factors established for recurrent acute otitis media and capable of being modified were the use of pacifiers and care in daycare centers. The probable risk factors were privation of mothers milk, presence of siblings, craniofacial abnormalities, passive smoking and presence of adenoids. No modifiable factor was classified as unlikely. Among those that need further study are allergy, gastroesophageal reflux and passive smoking during gestation. J Pediatr (Rio J)
