Structure

Source: Wood
Outcome: Dyspnoea (breathlessness)
Setting: home
Study design: pooled analysis of national household surveys across many countries: cooking with wood related to respiratory symptoms and acute respiratory infection in children, by region and by urban or rural residence (class 4)
Effect: OR 1.08 (1.01–1.15)
Caveat: only within rural areas; the preceding sentence says no association was observed overall for shortness of breath, cough or acute respiratory infection
