“…Maternal smoking increased the risk of middle ear disease and the need for surgery (OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.31–2.63) [32]. Exposure to ETS was more common in children undergoing tonsillectomy for recurrent tonsillitis compared to a control group who underwent hernia repair surgery [33].…”

Introduction: Childhood respiratory illness is a major cause of morbidity and mortality particularly in low and middle-income countries. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure is a recognised risk factor for both acute and chronic respiratory illness.Areas covered: The aim of this paper was to review the epidemiology of ETS exposure and impact on respiratory health in children. We conducted a search of 3 electronic databases of publications on ETS and childhood respiratory illness from 1990–2015. Key findings were that up to 70% of children are exposed to ETS globally, but under-reporting may mask the true prevalence. Maternal smoking and ETS exposure influence infant lung development and are associated with childhood upper and lower respiratory tract infection, wheezing or asthma. Further, exposure to ETS is associated with more severe respiratory disease. ETS exposure reduces lung function early in life, establishing an increased lifelong risk of poor lung health.Expert commentary: Urgent and effective strategies are needed to decrease ETS exposure in young children to improve child and long-term lung health in adults especially in low and middle income countries where ETS exposure is increasing.

“…Associations between SHS exposure and bronchitis, bronchiolitis, middle ear infection, and RTIs in general are well established [6][7][8]. As a result, the vast majority of the estimated 166 000 deaths and 6.6 million disability-adjusted life-years resulting from SHS exposure among children each year are due to RTIs [9].…”

“…Given the strong association between SHS and childhood RTIs, and the potential importance of smoke-free legislation in achieving the internationally agreed Millennium Development Goal target [6][7][8][9], we investigated the association between the 2007 implementation of smoke-free public environments in England and rates of hospital admissions for RTIs among children.…”

Smoke-free legislation and childhood hospitalisations for respiratory tract infections

Second-hand smoke exposure is a major risk factor for respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Although evidence suggests important early-life health benefits of smoke-free public environments, the impact on childhood RTIs is unclear. We investigated the association between England's smoke-free legislation and childhood RTI hospitalisations.We used the Hospital Episode Statistics database to obtain nationwide data on hospital admissions for acute RTIs among children (<15 years of age) from 2001 to 2012. Hospitalisation counts were disaggregated by month, age group, sex and small-area level, and linked to urbanisation, region, deprivation index and corresponding population estimates. Negative binomial regression analyses were adjusted for confounders, seasonal variation, temporal autocorrelation, population-size changes and underlying incidence trends. Models allowed for sudden and gradual changes following the smoke-free legislation. We performed sensitivity and subgroup analyses, and estimated number of events prevented.We analysed 1 651 675 hospital admissions. Introduction of smoke-free legislation was followed by an immediate reduction in RTI admissions (−3.5%, 95% CI −4.7-−2.3%), this mainly being attributable to a decrease in lower RTI admissions (−13.8%, 95% CI −15.6-−12.0%). The reductions in admissions for upper RTI were more incremental.The introduction of national smoke-free legislation in England was associated with ∼11 000 fewer hospital admissions per year for RTIs in children. @ERSpublications Smoke-free legislation in England was associated with a drop in paediatric respiratory infection admissions

“…İESD maruziyeti ile özellikle tekrarlayan otitis media arasında ilişki bulunmuştur. Aralık 2012'ye kadar yayınlanmış çalışmaların incelendiği başka bir metaanalizde, annenin sigara içmesinin, çocukta ameliyat gerektiren orta kulak hastalığı gelişme riskini neredeyse iki katına çıkarttığı gösterilmiştir (88,89) . İESD maruziyeti ayrıca geç çocukluk çağında sensörinöral işitme kaybı ile de ilişkilidir.…”
