Finding F-1758

“The IMCI pneumonia incidence rate in the intervention group was 15·76 (95% CI 14·89–16·63) per 100 child-years and in the control group 15·58 (95% CI 14·72–16·45) per 100 child-years, with an intervention versus control incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 1·01 (95% CI 0·91–1·13; p=0·80).”

Structure

Outcome: Pneumonia
Intervention: Improved cookstoves
Population: children under five
Setting: home, MW
Study design: cluster randomised controlled trial in rural Malawi (Cooking and Pneumonia Study): households received two cleaner-burning biomass cookstoves and solar panels, with pneumonia in children under five ascertained by integrated management of childhood illness criteria over two years (class 2)
Effect: RR 1.01 (0.91–1.13)
Caveat: a null result: the cleaner-burning cookstove did not lower pneumonia in this trial; printed as an incidence rate ratio and recorded under measure RR
