Exposure to pesticides and childhood leukemia risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2021, Environmental PollutionHousehold exposure to pesticides and risk of leukemia in children and adolescents: Updated systematic review and meta-analysis
2019, International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental HealthCitation Excerpt :One of them (Bailey et al., 2015) is a pooled analysis including data from 12 case-control studies. In the third step (identifying redundancies among full text articles to be assessed for eligibility), checking for redundancy of studies issued from step (i) resulted in the exclusion of 7 case-control studies (Infante-Rivard et al., 1999; Ma et al., 2002; Meinert et al., 1996, 2000; Menegaux et al., 2006; Rudant et al., 2007; Urayama et al., 2007) as they were included in the pooled analysis of Bailey et al. (2015). Two additional studies were excluded: the study of Pombo-de-Oliveira and Koifman (2006) as it was updated by Ferreira et al. (2013) and the study of Spix et al. (2009) as it was a duplicate, also identified in step (ii).
Livestock and poultry density and childhood cancer incidence in nine states in the USA
2017, Environmental ResearchCitation Excerpt :Many of these studies did not evaluate relationships separately for specific animal types, which is important because exposures to chemical and biological agents may vary by animal species and animal management practices (Spellman and Whiting, 2007). Most studies of childhood leukemia found no associations with parental or childhood exposure to animals (Keegan et al., 2012; Kristensen et al., 1996; McKinney et al., 2003; Meinert et al., 1996; Rudant et al., 2010; van Steensel-Moll et al., 1985); whereas most studies of CBTs found positive associations with parental or childhood exposure to animals (Christensen et al., 2012; Efird et al., 2003; Holly et al., 1998; Keegan et al., 2013; Kristensen et al., 1996). Ecologic studies in the United States have evaluated relationships between county-level incidence rates of childhood cancers and the density of specific crop types as a proxy for potential agricultural pesticide exposure (Booth et al., 2015; Carozza et al., 2008).

2012, Cancer EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Similarly, eight other studies reported positive and significant results for the association between childhood leukemia and household pesticide use during pregnancy [6–12] and five studies reported significant results for exposure in early childhood [7–11]. In addition, five studies showed significant associations with garden products used during pregnancy [8,10,12] and early childhood [8,10,11,13]. These studies, and six more, were included in a recent meta-analysis, by Turner et al. [14].
Residential exposure to pesticides and childhood leukaemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2011, Environment InternationalCitation Excerpt :Three studies of the “after pregnancy” window reported data on exposure from birth to diagnosis (Infante-Rivard et al., 1999; Meinert et al., 2000; Menegaux et al., 2006), two on exposure during year 1 after birth (Buckley et al., 1989; Ma et al., 2002) and Leiss and Savitz (1995) considered exposure from birth to 2 years prior to diagnosis and from 2 years prior to diagnosis through diagnosis. The last window of exposure includes less clearly defined exposure windows (Lowengart et al., 1987: exposure during pregnancy or nursing; Spix et al., 2009: since conception) or longer durations of exposure: from 1 month before pregnancy to the end of pregnancy (Infante-Rivard et al., 1999), from 3 months before pregnancy to 3 years old (Ma et al., 2002), from 2 years before birth up to diagnosis (Meinert et al., 1996) and at any time from 1 year before birth through the first 3 years of life (Urayama et al., 2007). Table 2 summarises the results of the different meta-analyses as well as the assessment of inconsistency (heterogeneity).
