Cotinine level |
The authors measured cotinine levels to detect environmental tobacco smoke exposure. The measure indicates the percentage of infants in whom cotinine levels, a metabolite of nicotine, were greater than 5 nanograms of cotinine per gram of creatinine. | Infant urine samples | Not applicable |
|
Functional Severity Score |
Incidence and severity of infant respiratory symptoms over the past six months. | Parent/caregiver report | Not applicable |
