Finding F-1483

“Compared to survey periods with 0 wildfire days, SBP was 3.83 mmHg higher (95% Confidence Interval [95% CI]: 0.22, 7.44) and DBP was 2.36 mmHg higher (95% CI: −0.06, 4.78) during periods with 4+ wildfire days.”

Structure

Source: Wildfire smoke
Factor: Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
Outcome: Blood pressure
Study design: panel study relating wildfire days to blood pressure: systolic and diastolic pressure of the participants compared between survey periods with and without wildfire days, and against the fine particulate matter of those periods (class 3)
Effect: difference 2.36 (-0.06–4.78)
Flags: ci-includes-1
Caveat: the confidence interval crosses zero
