Finding F-1682

“The pooled risk estimate suggested that increased microbial exposure was associated with an increased risk of respiratory symptoms [pooled relative risk (RR): 1.24 (1.09, 1.41), P = 0.001].”

Structure

Factor: Airborne fungi
Outcome: Respiratory symptoms
Setting: home
Study design: meta-analysis of fifteen studies of indoor microbial exposure: the pooled relative risk of respiratory symptoms, with a stratified analysis by the fungal species measured (class 2)
Effect: RR 1.24 (1.09–1.41)
Caveat: a pooled estimate across fifteen studies; the same sentence pair puts the combination of Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium and Alternaria at 1.73 (1.30, 2.31)
