ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of weather on the occurrence of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction in Chinese subjects.METHODS:
Weather and climate data, as well as the occurrence of STEMI, were monitored at 2 am, 8 am, 2 pm, and 8 pm between 2003 and 2010. Generalized additive Poisson models were utilized to plot the numbers of patients with STEMI within 6 hour intervals against climatological variations, after accounting for the effects of the hour and season.RESULTS:
The inclusion of meteorological conditions, including observed atmospheric pressure (hPa, hectopascal) variations during the previous three hours and temperature (°C, degrees Celsius), significantly affected the occurrence of STEMI, as measured every six hours. Compared with the 50th percentile of atmospheric pressure variations, the RRs (95% CI) for the first percentile, 10th percentile, 25th percentile, 75th percentile, 90th percentile, and 99th percentile of atmospheric pressure variation over lag 0 were 1.66 (1.36â¼2.03), 1.47 (1.30â¼1.67), 1.22 (1.12â¼1.33), 1.16 (1.07â¼1.25), 1.27 (1.13â¼1.43), and 1.16 (0.92â¼1.46), respectively. Compared to the 50th percentile of temperature, the RRs (95% CI) for the first percentile, 10th percentile, 25th percentile, 75th percentile, 90th percentile, and 99th percentile of temperature over lag 0 were 0.58 (0.40â¼0.83), 0.60 (0.46â¼0.78), 0.69 (0.57â¼0.83), 1.33 (1.14â¼1.56), 1.39 (1.13â¼1.71), and 1.17 (0.84â¼1.63), respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
Based on the eight-year, single-center study, significant relationships were observed among the occurrence of STEMI and atmospheric pressure variations during the previous three hours and temperature after account for long-term time trends.
