From: Global associations between extreme temperature events and childhood cancer incidence and mortality
Figure 2. Exposure-response curves for the associations between extreme temperature, extreme temperature events and childhood cancer burden. The shaded area represents the 95%CIs. The x-axis shows the exposure metric (event frequency for heat and cold waves and cumulative exposure for CHE and CCE), measured in °C·day for CCE and CHE, and as the number of occurrences for heat waves and cold spells. The Y-axis represents the absolute change in the childhood cancer incidence and death rate relative to the reference exposure level. Incidence and mortality rates are reported per 100,000 and per 10,000,000 population, respectively. CIs: Confidence intervals; CHE: cumulative heat exposure; CCE: cumulative cold exposure.
