The study, by researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, examined records from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System: Cooperative Adverse Drug Event Surveillance database, which reflects a national sample of 63 hospitals with 24-hour emergency departments. The scientists examined the number of emergency department visits involving children's use of over-the-counter cold and cough medicines for 14-month periods before and after the infant formulations were voluntarily removed from the market by their makers (Shehab N et al. Pediatrics. 2010;126[6]:1100-1107).
