Finding F-1125

“An increased concentration of benzene by 1 ppb was associated with a 12.0% (95% CI: -0.9 to 26.6) increase in AD symptoms, although statistical significance was borderline (P = 0.07).”

Structure

Factor: Benzene
Outcome: Atopic dermatitis symptoms
Population: children with atopic dermatitis
Setting: home, KR
Study design: panel study of children with atopic dermatitis in Korea: indoor volatile organic compounds and other pollutants measured in the homes alongside daily symptom scores, analysed in unlagged and lagged models (class 3)
Effect: difference 12.0 (-0.9–26.6) per 1 ppb of indoor benzene %
Flags: ci-includes-1
Caveat: the authors call the significance borderline; the interval crosses zero
