Table 4.
Sensitivity analyses showing adjusted odds ratios (OR) relating past-30-day e-cigarette use (lag 0) to respiratory symptoms, from mixed-effect logistic regression models.a
| Sensitivity Analysis Subgroup | Wheezea | Bronchitic Symptomsa | Shortness of Breatha |
|---|---|---|---|
| OR (95%CI) | OR (95%CI) | OR (95%CI) | |
| No past 30-day cigarette or cannabis use, n=1235b | 2.92 (0.85, 10.10) | 1.86 (0.83, 4.19) | 1.53 (0.65, 3.63) |
| Participated in both waves 1–2, n=1609c | 1.43 (0.99, 2.05) | 1.52 (1.14, 2.02) | 1.52 (1.03, 2.24) |
| No asthma, n=1618d | 1.66 (1.11, 2.48) | 1.53 (1.10, 2.12) | 1.61 (1.04, 2.48) |
Note.
= OR and 95% CI are based on mixed-effect logistic regression model with person-specific random intercept and adjustment (fixed effect) for wave, age, sex, race, parental education, secondhand exposure to cigarettes, e-cigarettes or cannabis.
= Sensitivity Analysis 1: Restricted to participants without any concurrent cigarette and/or cannabis use in the past 30 days.
= Sensitivity Analysis 2: Participants were included if they participated in both wave 1 and wave 2, adjusted additionally for concurrent cigarette and/or cannabis use.
= Sensitivity Analysis 3: Participants who reported no history of physician diagnosed asthma at wave 1, adjusted additionally for concurrent cigarette and/or cannabis use.
