The global burden of disease attributable to ambient fine particulate matter in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2019: A systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2022 May 4;238:113588. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113588. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUnderstanding the spatio-temporal patterns of the disease burden attributable to ambient PM2.5 across the world is essential for the prevention of related diseases, as well as ambient PM2.5 control. Following the framework and methodology of the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) in 2019, the global, regional, and national data on ambient PM2.5-attributable death and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and the age-standardized rates of mortality (ASMR) and disability-adjusted life years (ASDR) were summariz...

Mortality and Morbidity Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Low-Level PM 2.5 , BC, NO 2 , and O 3 : An Analysis of European Cohorts in the ELAPSE Project
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term exposure to PM2.5, NO2, and BC was positively associated with natural-cause and cause-specific mortality in the pooled cohort and the administrative cohorts. Associations were found well below current limit values and guidelines for PM2.5 and NO2. Associations tended to be supralinear, with steeper slopes at low exposures with no indication of a threshold. Two-pollutant models documented the importance of characterizing the ambient mixture with both NO2 and PM2.5. We mostly found negative associations with O3. In two-pollutant models with NO2, the negative associations with O3 were attenuated to esse...

Informing Radiotherapy Decisions in Stage I/IIa Hodgkin Lymphoma: Modelling Life Expectancy Using Radiation Dosimetry
Blood Adv. 2021 Dec 6:bloodadvances.2021006254. doi: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2021006254. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent randomized trials, omitting consolidative radiotherapy in early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (ESHL) increased relapses. However, decades of follow-up are required to observe whether lower initial disease control is compensated by reduced risk of late effects. Extrapolation beyond trial follow-up is therefore necessary to inform current treatment decisions. To this end, we developed a microsimulation model to estimate lifetime quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) after combined modality treatment (CMT) or ...

Health impact assessment and evaluation of economic costs attributed to PM 2.5 air pollution using BenMAP-CE
This study aimed to quantify health effects and associated economic values of reducing PM2.5 air pollution using BenMAP-CE in Qom in 2019. The air quality data were acquired from Qom Province Environmental Protection Agency, and the population data were collected from Qom Province Management and Planning Organization website. The number of deaths due to Stroke, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Lung Cancer, and Ischemic Heart Disease attributable to PM2.5 were estimated using BenMAP-CE based on two control scenarios, 2.4 and 10 μg/m3, known as scenarios I and II, respectively. The associated economic effect of premat...

Estimation of the effects PM2.5, NO2, O3 pollutants on the health of Shahrekord residents based on AirQ + software during (2012-2018)
CONCLUSION: A significant number of deaths due to air pollutants in Shahrekord have been reported. It can be concluded that by designing and implementing strategies and measures to control air pollution, both health effects and economic losses are prevented.PMID:36561960 | PMC:PMC9764246 | DOI:10.1016/j.toxrep.2022.03.045

RKHS-based covariate balancing for survival causal effect estimation
Lifetime Data Anal. 2023 Feb 23. doi: 10.1007/s10985-023-09590-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSurvival causal effect estimation based on right-censored data is of key interest in both survival analysis and causal inference. Propensity score weighting is one of the most popular methods in the literature. However, since it involves the inverse of propensity score estimates, its practical performance may be very unstable, especially when the covariate overlap is limited between treatment and control groups. To address this problem, a covariate balancing method is developed in this paper to estimate the counterfactual surviv...

Trend over time on knowledge of the health effects of cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco use in Bangladesh: Findings from the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Bangladesh Surveys
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that increasing efforts of awareness policy interventions is having a positive effect on tobacco-related knowledge in Bangladesh. These policy initiatives should be continued to identify optimal methods to facilitate behaviour change and improve cessation of smoking and ST use.PMID:37565295 | DOI:10.1111/dar.13735
