Finding F-0140
“A 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10-2.5 was associated with a 0.5% to 1.1% increase in cardiovascular disease admissions.”
Structure
- Factor
- Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
- Outcome
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
- Population
- patients admitted with acute cardiac conditions
- Setting
- city (ambient), SA
- Study design
- matched case analysis of hospital admissions for acute cardiac conditions (259 patients) at two governmental hospitals in Dammam and Khobar against daily PM10 and PM2.5 from 10 monitoring stations, lags 0 to 6 days (class 4)
- Caveat
- the same paper reports no significant association at any lag for PM10 and PM2.5 at the 5 % level (Tables 4 and 5)
A Finding records what one published document states, verbatim and with its page. It is not a conclusion of Coridum; see the Claims that build on it.
