Finding F-0570

“Similarly, in the indoor exposure model, lower ACT scores were associated with higher indoor NO2 exposure (1.57-points decrease in ACT score per an IQR increase in indoor NO2 exposure; p = 0.017), higher indoor temperature (0.94points decrease in ACT score per 1 °C increase in indoor temperature; p = 0.013), and the presence of mold/dampness (3.09-points decrease in ACT score with the presence of mold/ dampness; p = 0.011).”

Structure

Source: Dampness and water damage
Factor: Mould
Outcome: Asthma
Population: adults with asthma
Setting: dwelling, US
Study design: Breathe Easy Project pre-intervention period in Chicago: more than one year of data from 53 adults with asthma in 41 homes, quarterly indoor and outdoor pollutant measurements (HCHO, CO, CO2, NO2, O3, PM), home walk-throughs and surveys; asthma control test scores analysed with mixed-effects models, baseline risk factors with adjusted odds ratios (class 4)
Effect: difference 3.09
Sample: 53 participants
Caveat: endpoint is the asthma control test score (lower is worse), filed under asthma; the score change is printed as a decrease
