Feasibility and patient satisfaction with smoking cessation interventions for prevention of healthcare-associated infections in inpatients.
The primary aim of this pilot, randomized-controlled trial was to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a tobacco cessation intervention compared with usual care in inpatients. It found overall high levels of satisfaction with the intervention, indicating good feasibility and acceptance among patients.

Assessing trends in tobacco cessation in diverse patient populations.
This study examined change in tobacco use over 4 years among the general population of patients in six diverse health care organizations using electronic medical record data. It found that among smokers who regularly used these care systems, one in seven had achieved long-term cessation after 4 years. The study shows the practicality of using electronic medical records for monitoring patient smoking status over time.

The association of panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and major depression with smoking in American Indians.
This survey asked whether lifetime panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and major depression were related to lifetime cigarette smoking in two geographically distinct American Indian tribes. It found that the odds of smoking were two times higher in Southwest participants with panic disorder and major depression, and 1.7 times higher in those with posttraumatic stress disorder, after controlling for sociodemographic variables.

Depression is associated with readmission for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The authors characterized the associations between depression and anxiety and COPD readmission risk. They found that depression is an independent risk factor for both short- and long-term readmissions for acute exacerbation of COPD and may represent a modifiable risk factor. They also found that in-hospital tobacco cessation counseling was associated with reduced 1-year readmission.

Risk factors associated with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in HIV-infected and uninfected patients.
This study sought to determine the association between HIV infection and other risk factors for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). It concluded that HIV infection, especially with lower CD4 cell count, is an independent risk factor for AECOPD. Enhanced susceptibility to harm from current smoking or unhealthy alcohol use in HIV-infected patients may also contribute to the greater rate of AECOPD.
