Table 4 Combined effect estimate for the relationship between exposure to fungal genera and respiratory symptoms among U-5C
Model in subgroup analysis | Number of studies | I2 (%) | Summary Effect Estimate for pooled adjusted data [95% CI] | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Model 1: Two most reported fungal genera; Penicillium and Cladosporium species | (4) | 0 | 1.51 [1.31, 1.76] |  < 0.00001 |
Model 2: Three commonly reported fungal genera; Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium | (3) | 0 | 1.66 [1.34, 2.06] |  < 0.00001 |
Model 3: Four reported fungal genera; Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium and Alternaria | (2) | 0 | 1.73 [1.30, 2.31] | 0.0002 |
