Odds of a 20% decrement in PEFR below the median by lag in all schools combined for all children and for wheezy children only
| Pollutant | Lag 0 | Lag 1 | Lag 2 | Mean (0–4) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Results expressed as odds ratios for unit change of pollutant (95% CI). | ||||
| In addition to pollutant, the individual regression models included the following predictors: 24 hour average outside temperature; date. | ||||
| Mean (0–4) is five day average. | ||||
