Overview

Randomized trial estimates postpartum smoking relapse in women, indicating the need for targeted cessation support.

Key Points

  • Estimate the prevalence and identify factors associated with postpartum smoking relapse among women who quit during pregnancy.
  • Analyzed 2016-2022 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data
  • Evaluated 15,981 women who smoked exclusively before pregnancy and quit during pregnancy
  • Used weighted frequency estimates and logistic regression for analysis
  • 39.8% of women relapsed postpartum (95% CI: 38.6-41.0)
  • Higher relapse odds for women under 20 years (AOR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.3-2.4)
  • Women who never breastfed had significantly greater odds of relapse (AOR: 4.0, 95% CI: 3.3-4.8)
