Smoking Cessation After Hospital Discharge: Factors Associated With Abstinence.

ABSTRACT: Hospitalization offers tobacco smokers an opportunity to quit smoking, but factors associated with abstinence from tobacco after hospital discharge are poorly understood. We analyzed data from a multisite, randomized controlled trial testin a smoking cessation intervention for 1,357 hospitalized cigaretts smokers who planned to quit. Using multiple logistic regression, we assessed factors identifiable in the hospital that were independently associated with biochemically confirmed tobacco abstinence 6 months after discharge. Biochemically confirmed abstinence at 6 months (n = 218, 16%) was associated with a smoking-related primary discharge diagnosis (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.41-2.77), greater confidence in the ability to quit smoking (AOR - 1.31, 95% CI: 1.07-1.60), and
