Let's STOP Now Trial: Smoking in Trauma Orthopaedic Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking, Tobacco, Fractures, Bone

In brief

It is well known that smoking has deleterious effects to fracture/broken bone outcomes. Complications associated with smoking can be mitigated by smoking cessation. Initiating smoking cessation programs while patients are in the inpatient hospital setting has shown to be an opportune time to enroll patients in a smoking cessation program. The goal of this study is to determine if inpatient smoking counseling with/without follow-up is superior to the standard smoking cessation information associated with admission to a hospital facility.
