Abstract
Question
What is the effect of a nurse-led intervention on smoking cessation in people admitted to hospital for coronary heart disease?
Study design
Randomised controlled trial.
Main results
The nurse-led smoking cessation intervention increased smoking cessation rates at 12 months (AR for quitting: 50% (57/114) with intervention v 37% (4/119) with control; absolute risk reduction 13%, 95% CI 0% to 26%; NNT 8, 95% CI 4 to 250; conservative intention to treat analysis).
Authors’ conclusions
A nurse-led smoking cessation program was effective in people who had been admitted to hospital for coronary heart disease. The extended duration of the intervention may have been an important factor.
