Finding F-1513

“The pooled effect size of acute respiratory infection among under-five children associated with exposure to indoor air pollution was 13.56% (95% CI: 11.88–15.25), with high heterogeneity (I2 = 99.9%, p-value < 0.001).”

Structure

Source: Solid fuel
Outcome: Respiratory infections
Population: children under five
Setting: home
Study design: systematic review and meta-analysis of acute respiratory infection among children under five exposed to indoor air pollution, with subgroup analysis, meta-regression, sensitivity analysis and publication bias tests (class 2)
Effect: prevalence 13.56 (11.88–15.25)
Caveat: the heterogeneity between the pooled studies is very high (I2 = 99.9 %) and a p-value below 0.001
