The sub-analysis of patients receiving the most intensive interventions initiated in the hospital and extending for at least 1 month after discharge had a significantly higher crude quit rate and risk ratio for remaining abstinent in the longer term when compared to their control groups, 29.3% versus 20.6% (risk ratio 1.37, 95% CI 1.27–1.48), while the other categories did not reach statistical significance, e.g. the shortest intervention showed 10.0% versus 8.8% (risk ratio 1.14, 95% CI 0.82–1.59).
