One low confidence study (Kim et al., 2018) not shown in table because results were incompletely reported.
All studies used ln-transformed exposure and βs represent 1 ln-unit increase, except for Gascon, which used log2-transformation and β represent doubling of exposure.
Results that support an adverse association are shaded. This represents one or more of the following: p < 0.05, β ≥ 0.5, or exposure-response
trend across categories of exposure. NR = not reported. GM = geometric mean.
p < 0.05.
Upon request, author provided re-calculated results with ln-transformed exposure and β representing a ln-unit increase, to improve comparability with other studies.
