Short-Term Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Asthma Mortality
Abstract
Abstract Rationale Short-term exposure to air pollution has been associated with asthma exacerbation and increased healthcare use caused by asthma, but its effect on asthma mortality remains largely unknown. Objectives To quantitatively assess the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and asthma mortality. Methods We investigated 4,454 individuals who lived in Hubei province, China, and died from asthma between 2013 and 2018. A case-crossover design and conditional logistic regression models were applied for data analyses. Exposures to particulate matter ≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5), particulate matter ≤10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3) were estimated by inverse distance weighted averages of all monitoring stations within 50 km from each case’s home address. Measurements and Main Results Each interquartile range (IQR) increase of PM2.5 (lag 3; IQR, 47.1 μg/m3), NO2 (lag 03; IQR, 26.3 μg/m3), and O3 (lag 3; IQR, 52.9 μg/m3) were positively associated with asthma mortality, with odds ratios of 1.07 (95% confidence interval, 1.01–1.12), 1.11 (95% confidence interval, 1.01–1.22), and 1.09 (95% confidence interval, 1.01–1.18), respectively. There was no evidence of departure from linearity for these associations. Further adjustment for other pollutants did not change the associations materially. We did not observe significant associations between PM10, SO2, and CO exposures and asthma mortality. Overall, the estimates remained consistent in various sensitivity analyses. Conclusions Our results provide new evidence that short-term exposures to PM2.5, NO2, and O3 may increase asthma mortality risk. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings in other populations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
