摘要: Objectives. This study examined associations between weather and hospitalizations of females for viral pneumonia during normal periods El Nino events in the California counties Sacramento Yolo, San Francisco Mateo, Los Angeles Orange. Methods. Associations (lagged 7 days) January 1983 through June 1998 were evaluated with Poisson regression models. Generalized estimating equations used to adjust autocorrelation overdispersion. Data summed over 4 days. Results. varied by region. Hospitalizations increased significantly (30%–50%) a 5°F decrease minimum temperature. (25%–40%) maximum temperature difference. The independent season. associated only Sacramento, significant decreases girls increases women. Co...
