Correlation between self-reported smoking status and serum cotinine during pregnancy

Article Abstract:

The sensitivity and specificity of self-reported smoking with serum cotinine as the gold standard and the correlation between self-reported smoking in cigarettes per day and serum cotinine levels was determined. Findings show that the self-reported smoking during pregnancy is highly accurate and the high correlation coefficient suggests that this is robust surrogate for cotinine levels.
