Structure

Factor: Dampness and water damage
Outcome: Respiratory symptoms
Setting: hospital ward, FI
Study design: cross-sectional comparison of two occupational cohorts: nurses and midwives working in a hospital with dampness microbiota against an unexposed cohort, with the symptoms collected by questionnaire (class 4)
Effect: RR 2.56
Sample: 135 participants
Caveat: the symptoms are reported by the participants themselves and the exposure is the workplace, not the home
