Finding F-1608

“The exposure-response curve shows an estimated ALRI odds ratio of 3.39 (95% credible interval = 1.89, 6.10) comparing PM2.5 concentrations of 50 and 150 μg/m3 and a flattening of the curve for higher concentrations.”

A hierarchical model for estimating the exposure- response curve by combining multiple studies of acute lower respiratory infections in children and household fine particulate matter air pollution (2020). Environmental epidemiology (Philadelphia, Pa.). Page 1. CKB 8073

Structure

Factor: Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
Outcome: Acute respiratory infections (ARI)
Setting: home, NP
Study design: hierarchical exposure-response model fitted to three household air pollution studies: long-term fine particle concentrations estimated for each household and related to acute lower respiratory infection in children, separately and pooled (class 3)
Effect: OR 3.39 (1.89–6.10)
Caveat: the interval is a credible interval from the study's Bayesian model, and the study says the curve flattens at higher concentrations
