OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between smoking and @entity385 recurrence. METHODS: We conducted a prospective follow-up study of @entity1 with first incidence of @entity64 . A competing risks model was used to establish the association between smoking and @entity64 recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 594 @entity64 @entity1 were recruited. Among the 361 male @entity1 , 59 recurrent events and 13 competing events occurred. Among the 233 female @entity1 (all were non-smokers), 49 recurrent events and 11 competing events occurred. Adjusted for confounding factors, male nonsmokers exposed to passive smoking had a SHR of 3. 040 in comparison with those without exposure to smoking and the P value was borderline significant. Those who smoked 100-200 cigarettes a year had a SHR of 0. 947. The other groups with exposure to smoking had a greater than 1 SHR, but without statistical significance. Moreover, no significant associations between recurrence of @entity385 and smoking index/cumulative smoking were found. The female nonsmokers who had exposure to passive smoking only at follow-ups had a SHR of 1. 4 (and all other groups had less than 1 SHR). But no statistical significances were found in the comparisons. CONCLUSION: Further research with a larger sample size is needed to establish the association between smoking and recurrence of @entity385 .
