Finding F-1704

“In this analysis, cooking with kerosene increased the odds of ALRI more during the rainy season (OR 2.50, CI: 1.33, 4.73) than during the dry season (OR 1.56, CI: 0.87, 2.83).”

Structure

Source: Kerosene
Outcome: Lower respiratory infections (LRI)
Setting: home (dry season)
Study design: case-control study of acute lower respiratory infection in young children: the household cooking fuel and the place of cooking related to infection, with the dry and the rainy season analysed separately and adjusted for household and child characteristics (class 4)
Effect: OR 1.56 (0.87–2.83)
Caveat: the same sentence puts the rainy season at 2.50 (95% CI 1.33, 4.73), which is significant; the estimates are adjusted for the distance to water, the shelter index, maternal education, birth order, stunting, child age and child sex
