| Summary: | Abstract
BackgroundThe evidence on the association of fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5
ObjectiveIn a population-based retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the influence of PM2.5
MethodsA total of 26,482 patients with incident PTB, registered in a mandatory web-based reporting system between 2012 and 2019 in Zhengzhou, China, were included in the analysis. The exposure to PM2.52.5
ResultsAmong the 26,482 patients (mean age 46.86, SD 19.52 years) with a median follow-up time of 1523 days per patient, 1542 (5.82%) PTB retreatments were observed between 2012 and 2019. Exposure to PM2.532.52.5
ConclusionsLong-term exposure to PM2.5 |
