T205 0-108 Sentence denotes Our study is comparable with previous studies assessing the long-term effect of PM2.5 on COVID-19 mortality.
T206 109-212 Sentence denotes The aforementioned study in the US also assessed the effect of PM2.5 on COVID-19 mortality(Liang et al.
T207 213-219 Sentence denotes 2020).
T208 220-321 Sentence denotes Their exposure model was previously validated having an R2 = 0.89 for the annual estimates (Di et al.
T209 322-329 Sentence denotes 2019b).
T210 330-554 Sentence denotes The evidence for PM2.5 was weak, namely 10.8% (95% CI:-1.1%, 24.1%) per 3.4 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 concentration (that is approximately 3.2% increase per 1 μg/m3) after adjusting for confounding and spatial autocorrelation.
T211 555-729 Sentence denotes The ONS report in England found a 1% (95% CI: −3%, 6%) increase in the COVID-19 mortality for every 1 μg/m3 increase in the 10-year averaged PM2.5 exposure (Statistics 2020).
T212 730-884 Sentence denotes Our study comes in contrast with another study in the US that used deaths reported until April 22nd, 2020 and counties as the geographical unit (Wu et al.
T213 885-891 Sentence denotes 2020).
T214 892-1003 Sentence denotes For the exposure, they used previously validated monthly PM2.5 concentrations (R2 = 0.70) (Van Donkelaar et al.
T215 1004-1049 Sentence denotes 2019) and averaged them during 2000 and 2016.
T216 1050-1145 Sentence denotes After adjusting for confounding but not for spatial autocorrelation, they found an 11% (95% CI:
T217 1146-1251 Sentence denotes 6%, 17%) increase in the COVID-19 death rate for an increase of 1 μg/m3 in PM2.5 concentration (Wu et al.
T218 1252-1258 Sentence denotes 2020).
T219 1259-1352 Sentence denotes Our study comes also in contrast with the study in the Netherlands that reported 2.3 (95% CI:
T220 1353-1475 Sentence denotes 1.3, 3.0) additional COVID-19 deaths for an increase of 1 μg/m3 in the averaged long-term PM2.5 concentration (Cole et al.
T221 1476-1482 Sentence denotes 2020).
T222 1483-1661 Sentence denotes Having a mean number of deaths equal to 16.86, the above estimate translates to a 13.6% increase in the COVID-19 mortality rate for an increase of 1 μg/m3 in PM2.5 concentration.
