Finding F-1011

“The results of the linear regression found an inverse association between higher exposure to HAP and birthweight in the adjusted and unadjusted models; the birth weight of children in the high-exposure group was lower by 107 g compared to that of the low-exposure group after adjusting for other variables (β = −106.8; 95% confidence intervals: −197.6, −16.0).”

Outcome
Birth weight
Population
pregnant women and their newborns
Setting
home, LK
Study design
cohort study of pregnant women in Sri Lanka: households grouped into high and low exposure by biomass fuel use, with indoor PM2.5 and carbon monoxide measured and neonatal outcomes recorded at birth (class 3)
Effect
difference 106.8 (-197.6–-16.0)
Caveat
the coefficient is printed as negative; the estimate is recorded as the size of the difference with the direction in its own field
