Association of fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) exposure and chronic kidney disease outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Several studies have reported an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) outcomes after long-term exposure (more than 1 year) to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 2.5 µm (PM_2.5). However, the conclusions remain inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to examine the association between long-term PM_2.5 exposure and CKD outcomes. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials, and Embase for relevant studies published until August 10, 2023. The main outcomes were incidence and prevalence of CKD as well as incidence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The random-effect model meta-analyses were used to estimate the risk of each outcome among studies. Twenty two studies were iden
