We abstracted charts from pediatric inpatients with confirmed influenza from 2002-2009 for demographics, medical history, and smoke exposure. Severity indicators included intensive care, intubation, and length of stay (LOS) in the hospital; potential confounding factors included demographics and the presence of asthma or chronic conditions. All χ2, t tests, and regression analyses were run using SPSS v. 18.0.

Children with chronic conditions and SHS exposure required more intensive care (53% vs 18%, P < .05) and had …
