Lag-specific effects of Heat on the MB-CDI score (from models unadjusted for pollution)

Adjusted relative risk (solid line) and 95% confidence interval (dashed lines) for the MB-CDI score associated with severe heat (95th percentile vs. 50th percentile) during the 30 weeks following conception (left) and the 91 first weeks of life (right). Risks lower than one indicate that higher temperatures, compared to the median temperature, are associated with a reduction in the MB-CDI score. Conversely, risks higher than one indicate that higher temperatures, compared to the median, are associated with an increase in the MB-CDI score

Shaded areas indicate 95% confidence intervals that exclude one

Upper panel: Overall temperature (Tmean); Middle panel: Daytime temperature (Tmax); Lower panel: Night-time temperature (Tmin)
