Introduction: Acute respiratory infections are the leading cause of morbidity during the first years of life. Susceptibility to respiratory infections is determined not only by genetics, environment, socio-economic, and cultural factors; passive smoking is particularly important in this case.
Objective: Measuring the relationship between tobacco exposure and the frequency of primary care visits, the number of paediatric emergency room admissions, the number of hospitalisations and the number of diagnoses of respiratory infections during the infant's first year of life.
Methods: A group of 173 infants under 1 year of age was the subject of a retrospective cohort study. Information was obtained from maternal medical histories and routine health checks over a 3-month period.
Results: Exposed children visited primary care a mean of 4.95 times for suspected infection, while unexposed children visited primary care a mean of 4.53 times (p=0.429). Exposed children had a mean of 0.5 days of hospitalisation for respiratory infection and unexposed children a mean of 0.17 days (p=0.413). Exposed children had a mean of 0.05 emergency department admissions with suspected respiratory infection and unexposed children a mean of 0.353 (p=0.101). Exposed children had a mean of 3.85 diagnoses of respiratory infection and unexposed children had a mean of 3.49 (p=0.421).
Conclusions: There are slight significant differences in the use of health services between infants exposed to tobacco and those who were not exposed, with a greater likelihood of serious illnesses related to passive smoking.
