Abstract
Background: chemical components and fatality among hospitalized stroke patients. Methods: )] were estimated using bilinear interpolation at patient's residential address. Mixed-effects logistic regression models were conducted to estimate the odds ratios (ORs). Counterfactual analyses were used to estimate the population attributable burden (PAF). Findings: . Interpretation: might be important risk factors for stroke fatality. The findings advocate the need to develop tailored guidelines for PM chemical components and curb the emissions of the most hazardous chemical components. Funding: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (INV-016826).
