The Role of Extreme Weather and Climate-Related Events on Asthma Outcomes
2021, Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :During the period of wildfires, asthma admissions increased across all age groups by 4.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.1%–7.6%) and a 26% increase in the period following the fires suggesting a delayed inflammatory response. During the wildfires there was an increased risk of asthma admission for female individuals ages 5 to 19 (49% P<.02) compared with male individuals and also women 20 to 64 years of age (41%, P<.001 compared with their male counterparts.54 In June 2008, a lightning strike ignited a peatbog fire in North Carolina, and Rappold and colleagues55 reported a significant increase in all asthma-related ED visits (odds ratio [OR] 1.65; CI 1.25–2.17).
Extreme weather and air pollution effects on cardiovascular and respiratory hospital admissions in Cyprus
2016, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :A temperature threshold for specific types of diseases, as well as a geographic effect has been described for respiratory diseases (Ye et al., 2012). Several studies have examined the association between particulate air pollution and hospital admissions in the USA, Europe and Asia (see e.g. Pope, 1991; Thurston et al., 1992; Delfino et al., 1994; Schwartz, 1994, 1995, 1996; Schwartz and Morris, 1995; Anderson et al., 1998; Spix et al., 1998; Wong et al., 1999; Koken et al., 2003; Dominici et al., 2006; Goncalves et al., 2007; Colais et al., 2012). These studies show that exposure to airborne particle matter (PM10 and PM2.5) increases the risk of hospital admission for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
