Finding F-1747

“Dsypnoea (mMRC ≥Grade 2) and wheezing (ever or on most days/nights) were more common among biomass users compared to those who used nonbiomass fuel (p <0.001), with age-adjusted prevalence of dyspnoea being 17.8% (95% CI 14.1, 21.5%) among female and 12.0% (8.9, 15.1%) among male biomass fuel users, compared to 7.6% (5.1, 10.1%) and 2.5% (1.0, 4.1%) among cleaner fuel users.”

Structure

Source: Biomass fuel
Outcome: Dyspnoea (breathlessness)
Population: male biomass fuel users
Setting: home, NP
Study design: cross-sectional study of rural and urban Nepalese adults: 24-hour indoor fine particulate matter and carbon monoxide measured in biomass-using and non-biomass-using homes, with respiratory symptoms recorded by questionnaire (class 4)
Effect: prevalence 12.0 (8.9–15.1)
Caveat: the p-value covers the comparison of dyspnoea and wheezing between the fuel groups, not this prevalence alone
