Estimating the Effects of Fine Particulate Matter on 432 Cardiovascular Diseases Using Multi-Outcome Regression With Tree-Structured Shrinkage
利用树状收缩多结局回归估计细颗粒物与432种心血管疾病的关系
The positive relationship between airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is established. Little is known about effect size heterogeneity across distinct CVD outcomes. We conducted a multi-outcome case-crossover study of Medicare beneficiaries aged >65 years residing in the mainland USA from 2000 through 2012. The exposure was two-day average PM2.5 in each individual’s residential zipcode. The outcomes were hospitalization for 432 distinct…
