    Abstract Background: Results from ecological studies have suggested that air pollution increases the risk of developing and dying from COVID-19. Drawing causal inferences from the measures of association reported in ecological studies is fraught with challenges given biases arising from an outcome whose ascertainment is incomplete, varies by region, time, and across sociodemographic characteristics, and cannot account for clustering or within-area heterogeneity. Through a series of analyses, we illustrate the dangers of using ecological studies to assess whether ambient air pollution increases the risk of dying from, or transmitting, COVID-19.
    Methods: We performed an ecological analysis in the continental United States using county-level ambient concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM
    Results: Our analyses revealed that the shape of the exposure-response curve between PM
    Conclusions: Our analyses indicated that ecological analyses are prone to showing spurious relationships between ambient air pollution and mortality from COVID-19 as well as the prevalence of HIV. We discuss the many potential biases inherent in any ecological-based analysis of air pollution and COVID-19.

    Abstract Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne illness in the USA. Incidence is related to specific environmental conditions such as temperature, metrics of land cover, and vertebrate species diversity. To determine whether greenness, as measured by the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and other selected indices of land cover were associated with the incidence of LD in the northeastern USA for the years 2000-2018, we conducted an ecological analysis of incidence rates of LD in counties of 15 "high" incidence states and the District of Columbia for 2000-2018. Annual counts of LD by county were obtained from the US Centers for Disease Control and values of NDVI were acquired from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer instrument aboard Terra and Aqua Satellites. County-specific values of human population density, area of land and water were obtained from the US Census. Using quasi-Poisson regression, multivariable associations were estimated between the incidence of LD, NDVI, land cover variables, human population density, and calendar year. We found that LD incidence increased by 7.1% per year (95% confidence interval: 6.8-8.2%). Land cover variables showed complex non-linear associations with incidence: average county-specific NDVI showed a "u-shaped" association, the standard deviation of NDVI showed a monotonic upward relationship, population density showed a decreasing trend, areas of land and water showed "n-shaped" relationships. We found an interaction between average and standard deviation of NDVI, with the highest average NDVI category; increased standard deviation of NDVI showed the greatest increase in rates. These associations cannot be interpreted as causal but indicate that certain patterns of land cover may have the potential to increase exposure to infected ticks and thereby may contribute indirectly to increased rates of LD. Public health interventions could make use of these results in informing people where risks may be high.

  7. Article: Statistical adjustments of environmental pollutants arising from multiple sources in epidemiologic studies: The role of markers of complex mixtures

    Abstract Studies of the effects of environmental exposures on human health are complicated by the fact that populations are exposed to complex mixtures of toxic and non-toxic substances that vary spatially and temporally in their composition and concentrations. The identification of causal components of mixtures requires accurate measurements of all components, an appreciation of the sources from which they derive and resulting correlations between components. Recent work has suggested that the usual methods of handling multiple exposures in statistical models is much more complicated than in classical problems, such as considering alcohol as a confounding factor in the association between tobacco smoking and breast cancer. Herein, we use directed acyclic graphs (DAG) to analyse several hypothetical examples to illustrate the problems encountered in the statistical analysis of pollutant mixtures. In some instances, the results may be biased regardless as to whether one adjusts or does not adjust for co-exposures. We suggest that use of markers that are amenable to public health interventions may reduce this problem. Before starting a study one should identify the key environmental sources, develop a DAG to assist with framing the statistical models, estimate correlations between components, report results for all measured components (e.g., unadjusted and adjusted for each other), and incorporate toxicological and mechanistic investigations. As it is likely that one may not know what the “correct” model is, one could consider reporting different models containing various combinations of the measured exposure variables.

    Abstract Background: The demand for nonsurgical facial rejuvenation options is growing, yet the periorbital region remains an area of relative unmet need. This review explores nonsurgical options for facial rejuvenation and the role of oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.1%, in treating age-related blepharoptosis as part of periorbital rejuvenation.
    Methods: Advisors experienced in facial rejuvenation met to discuss existing literature on the upper face and periorbital rejuvenation and the role of oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.1%, in treating facial aging.
    Results: An array of nonsurgical options exist to address the signs of aging, including minimally invasive treatments, such as botulinum toxin injections and dermal fillers, and noninvasive therapy, such as lasers, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. However, treating age-related ptosis in periorbital rejuvenation is mainly addressed surgically. The newly approved α-adrenergic receptor agonist oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.1%, provides a novel non-interventional approach to blepharoptosis.
    Conclusions: Facial rejuvenation is highly sought-after in this post-pandemic era. Each nonsurgical treatment option has its advantages and drawbacks. A patient-centered approach is necessary to select the appropriate procedure considering the patient's concerns and aesthetic sensibilities. The eyes are an area of primary concern for patients, yet surgery is the gold standard for treating ptosis. Oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.1%, is a safe and effective nonsurgical treatment for blepharoptosis.

    Abstract Background: Studies have reported that ambient air pollution is associated with an increased risk of developing or dying from coronavirus-2 (COVID-19). Methodological approaches to investigate the health impacts of air pollution on epidemics should differ from those used for chronic diseases, but the methods used in these studies have not been appraised critically.
    Objectives: Our study aimed to identify and critique the methodological approaches of studies of air pollution on infections and mortality due to COVID-19 and to identify and critique the methodological approaches of similar studies concerning severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
    Methods: Published and unpublished papers of associations between air pollution and developing or dying from COVID-19 or SARS that were reported as of 10 May 2020 were identified through electronic databases, internet searches, and other sources.
    Results: All six COVID-19 studies and two of three SARS studies reported positive associations. Two were time series studies that estimated associations between daily changes in air pollution, one was a cohort that assessed associations between air pollution and the secondary spread of SARS, and six were ecological studies that used area-wide exposures and outcomes. Common shortcomings included possible cross-level bias in ecological studies, underreporting of health outcomes, using grouped data, the lack of highly spatially resolved air pollution measures, inadequate control for confounding and evaluation of effect modification, not accounting for regional variations in the timing of outbreaks' temporal changes in at-risk populations, and not accounting for nonindependence of outcomes.
    Discussion: Studies of air pollution and novel coronaviruses have relied mainly on ecological measures of exposures and outcomes and are susceptible to important sources of bias. Although longitudinal studies with individual-level data may be imperfect, they are needed to adequately address this topic. The complexities involved in these types of studies underscore the need for careful design and for peer review. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP7411.
