Finding F-1695

“Findings showed that exposure to biomass cooking fuels during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of LBW adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.74 (95% CI 1.08–6.96) and SGA (aOR: 1.87, 95% CI 1.03–3.41) compared with the use of clean energy.”

Structure

Source: Biomass fuel
Outcome: Low birth weight
Setting: home
Study design: cohort study of pregnant women: the household cooking fuel related to low birth weight and small-for-gestational-age, adjusted for confounders, with the stove type and the kitchen arrangement examined separately (class 3)
Effect: OR 2.74 (1.08–6.96)
Caveat: the same sentence puts small-for-gestational-age at 1.87 (95% CI 1.03–3.41); the study adds that the risk was highest for traditional biomass stoves, at 3.23 (95% 1.17–8.89)

A Finding records what one published document states, verbatim and with its page. It is not a conclusion of Coridum; see the Claims that build on it.
