Urine and meconium samples were analyzed for illicit drugs, the cocaine metabolite, benzoylecgonine, and the nicotine metabolite, cotinine.

Tone abnormalities were the only neurologic abnormalities discovered, predominantly generalized hypertonia. Logistic models found that maternal urine cotinine levels were predictive of an abnormal neurologic examination, whereas cocaine exposure or benzoylecgonine levels were not. No interaction was found between maternal cigarette smoking and cocaine exposure. Race, ethanol exposure, prenatal care, homelessness, and head circumference were not predictive of an abnormal tone examination. The odds ratio for an abnormal examination was 2.9 (95% confidence interval: 1.04\u20138.25), if the maternal urine cotinine level was &amp;gt;200 ng\/mL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings suggest that maternal cigarette smoking may be the major predictor of tone abnormalities reported in cocaine-exposed infants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.106.1.79","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,13]],"date-time":"2004-08-13T23:50:41Z","timestamp":1092441041000},"page":"79-85","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Tone Abnormalities Are Associated With Maternal Cigarette Smoking During Pregnancy in In Utero Cocaine-Exposed Infants"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"Delia A.","family":"Dempsey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Pediatrics and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beatrice Latal","family":"Hajnal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kinderspital, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.
