Outcome
data (birth weight) were obtained from maternal postpartum interviews when available. For
infants of women not returning for a postpartum visit, birth weight was obtained from
birth certificate records. We used two different measures of tobacco exposure:
self-reported cigarettes smoked per day, and urine cotinine concentration. We included
only those women who had at least one self-reported estimate of the number of cigarettes
smoked per day and a corresponding measure of urine cotinine obtained in the third
trimester. |
