ABSTRACT
The adverse effects of ambient temperature on human health are receiving increasing attention, yet evidence of its impact on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) onset is limited. Here, the relationship between ambient temperature and ICH was evaluated. A time-stratified case-crossover analysis was performed based on 4051 ICH patients admitted to five stroke units in Tianjin between January 2014 and December 2020. Conditional logistic regression was applied to evaluate the associations between the daily mean temperature (Tm) or daily temperature range (DTR) and ICH onset. We found a negative association between Tm and ICH onset (OR = 0.977, 95% CI 0.968-0.987) but not between DTR and ICH onset. In stratified analyses, men and individuals aged ≥ 60 years were more susceptible to low-ambient temperature effects; corresponding adjusted ORs were 0.970 (95% CI 0.956-0.983) and 0.969 (95% CI 0.957-0.982), respectively. Tm significantly affected patients with deep ICH (OR = 0.976, 95% CI 0.965-0.988), but had no effect on lobar ICH. There was also seasonal heterogeneity in the effect of Tm on ICH onset, with Tm being negatively associated with ICH onset only in the warm season (OR = 0.961, 95% CI 0.941-0.982). Results suggest that the low-ambient temperature might trigger ICH onset, especially for the male and elderly population, providing important health guidance to prevent cold exposure-induced ICH.
