Linkage to hospital records provided information on acute LRTI admissions.

Compared with living in owned housing, the odds of LRTI admission were higher in children living in social rented housing (C1: OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.31 to 1.49; C2: 1.23, 1.16 to 1.31), private rented (C1: 1.24, 1.11 to 1.39; C2: 1.14, 1.06 to 1.21) and rent-free housing (C1: 1.53, 1.35 to 1.74; C2: 1.04, 0.80 to 1.36).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Children living in rented housing had higher odds of early-childhood LRTI admission compared with those living in owned housing in Scotland.
