Associations between maternal smoking during pregnancy (N=9,016) or any secondhand smoke (SHS) during infancy (N=7,932) and prevalence of rhinoconjunctivitis up to 14 y of age in five European birth cohorts. Cohort-specific odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained by generalized estimating equation models. Adjusted for sex, parental education level, parental allergy, older siblings, breastfeeding, study center, intervention arm, and early day-care attendance. Combined OR and 95% CI were derived from cohort-specific OR and 95% CI using a random effects model.
