Finding F-0069

“The cardiovascular mortality was increased by 17% (95% CI: 1.00, 1.37) per 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10, respiratory mortality was increased by 28% (95% CI: 1.10, 1.49).”

Structure

Factor: Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
Outcome: Respiratory tract diseases
Study design: systematic review and meta-analysis of 38 publications (35 cohort and 3 case-control studies) on long-term particulate matter exposure in low- and middle-income countries; preprint (Research Square), not peer reviewed (class 2)
Effect: HR 1.28 (1.10–1.49) per 10
Averaging time: long-term exposure
Sample: 38 studies
Caveat: the sentence prints the effect as an increase of 28 % with the confidence interval on the ratio scale; the paper's tables report hazard ratios; endpoint is mortality
