摘要: Background: The association between weather and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) transmission in Beijing Hong Kong the 2003 epidemic was studied to examine effect of on SARS transmission. Methods: Pearson’s correlation analyses negative binomial regression were used quantify correlations daily newly reported number cases variables, using disease notification data meteorological from two locations. Results: results indicate that there inverse maximum and/or minimum temperatures whereas air pressure found be positively associated with transmission. Conclusion: study suggests might a contributory factor epidemic, particular among community members.
