214 WHO GUIDELINES FOR INDOOR AIR QUALITY: DAMPNESS AND MOULD Abbreviations and footnotes AF attributable fraction; CFU colony-forming units; CI confidence interval; CV coefficient of variation; DLCO total lung diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide; ECRHS European Community Respiratory Health Survey; FVC forced vital capacity; FEV1 forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FEV25-75 forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of FVC; IRR incidence rate ratio; KCO alveolar diffusion constant for carbon monoxide ; PEF peak expiratory flow; NS not significant; RR relative risk . a The effect of doubling allergen or fungal exposure on the risk for of developing new clinical outcomes. b Stark et al. (2003) defined lower respiratory tract infection from answers to the question: “Since we last spoke on (date given), has your child had pneumonia, croup, bronchitis, or bronchiolitis diagnosed by a doctor?” The primary outcome variable was at least one report of lower respiratory tract infection in the first year of life. c These publications cover the same populations, and the risk estimates reported are based on identical analyses with slightly different odds ratios. d As this relates to absence of dampness, it implies that dampness at home is a risk factor for asthma. e Grade I, no visible moisture damage, minor moisture damage, one patch of deteriorated interior finish or covering; grade II, single observation of a damaged interior structural component, single patch of deteriorated interior finish or covering, as in grade I, plus other damage of same or lower severity; grade III, presence of a damaged interior structural component, as in grade II, with other damage of the same or lower severity; or functional element that required partial or total renewal, with or without other damage. f Adjusted for association between personal exposure to particles and microbial aerosol and symptom diary responses. g Adjusted for association between microenvironmental concentrations of particles and microbial aerosol at home and symptom diary responses. h Adjusted for association between microenvironmental concentrations of particles and microbial aerosol at work and symptom diary responses. i No interaction models. j Interaction models. k Full variate model. l Multivariate model omitting any lower respiratory infection in year 1. m Multivariate model omitting dust-borne Aureobasidium. n Relative odds of morbidity. o Incidence (mean ± standard deviation). p Difference in mean pulmonary function, expressed as a percentage of the grand mean, between children living in damp houses and children living in dry houses. q Adjusted mean daily variation in PEF over the study period; daily variation = (morning – evening PEF)/((morning + evening PEF)/2)) (in %).
