Finding F-1693

“When adjusting for confounders, including a history of eye allergy, subjects from the experimental building were 13.3× more likely to report worsening of their DE symptoms (p < 0.05).”

Structure

Outcome: Dry eye disease
Setting: office
Study design: controlled comparison of two office buildings: occupants of an older building with higher particle counts and microbial colonies compared with occupants of a control building, with dry eye symptoms recorded on entering and leaving (class 4)
Effect: OR 13.3
Caveat: the exposure is the whole indoor environment of the older building, which the study describes as higher particle counts and microbial colonies, so it has no single factor slug; the outcome is a worsening of dry eye symptoms reported since the morning
