TABLE 7.
Comparison of Pooled Estimates From Other Meta-Analyses of Ozone and Mortality*
Meta-Analysis Study | Percent Increase (95% Interval) |
---|---|
Thurston and Ito20 | 0.89 (0.56 to 1.22) |
Thurston and Ito20 | 1.37 (0.78 to 1.96)* |
Stieb et al 23 | 1.12 (0.32 to 1.92) |
Levy et al 21 | 0.98 (0.59 to 1.38) |
Anderson et al24 | 1.11 (0.55 to 1.67) |
Present meta-analysis† | 0.87 (0.55 to 1.18) |
Included only studies that considered a nonlinear relationship between temperature and mortality.
Percent increase (95% posterior interval) in mortality per 10-ppb increase in daily average ozone at short-term lags (single-day lags of 0, 1, or 2 days or a 2-day average of lags 0 and 1 or lags 1 and 2.
