Wheeze Bronchitic symptoms Shortness of breath
OR (95% CI) OR (95% CI) OR (95% CI)
Sensitivity analysis 1* 2.27 (0.74 to 6.95) 3.10 (1.52 to 6.35) 2.05 (1.01 to 4.19)
Sensitivity analysis 2† 1.30 (0.90 to 1.87) 1.39 (1.05 to 1.84) 1.56 (1.08 to 2.26)
Sensitivity analysis 3‡ 1.15 (0.74 to 1.80) 1.63 (1.16 to 2.31) 1.47 (0.93 to 2.32)

*Sensitivity analysis 1: Analysis was restricted to participants without any reported primary vaping or smoking of nicotine or cannabis in the past 30 days (primary vaping or smoking) (n=1181).

†Sensitivity analysis 2: Participants were included if they participated in both wave 1 and wave 2 (n=1609), adjusted additionally for primary vaping or smoking.

‡Sensitivity analysis 3: Participants who reported no history of physician diagnosed asthma at wave 1 (n=1463), adjusted additionally for primary vaping or smoking.

§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 and secondhand smoking or cannabis (smoking or vaping secondhand cannabis) exposure.
