Abstract
A case-control study was undertaken to determine whether esophagitis in children correlated with exposure to parental cigarette smoking. At least one parent smoked in 77 (79%) of 97 families in the study group, compared with 42 (38.9%) of the 108 families in the control group (p < 0.001). Passive smoking is a risk factor for the development of esophagitis in children, providing added support for public health efforts to restrict childhood exposure to tobacco smoke.Entities:
