Abstract: From the authors:
We would like to thank Filleul et al. 1 for their thoughtful comments on our paper 2 which discusses some limitations of time-series analyses.
The main objective of our study was to evaluate the impact of air pollution on respiratory mortality accounting for primary and underlying causes of death, as accounting for primary causes only may underestimate the real impact of air pollution on respiratory death. We also aimed at obtaining a better specification of individual exposure by stratifying by place of death; the rationale being that the relationship between air pollution and death should be more apparent in subjects dying outside of medical units. Our data show that by considering these two factors, we were able to better capture the impact of air pollution on respiratory health.
