Effects of ambient temperature on daily hospital admissions for mental disorders in Shanghai, China: A time-series analysis.

摘要: Abstract Background Evidence for extreme ambient temperature effects on the risk of mental disorders (MDs) is limited. In this study, we evaluated short-term daily mean hospital admissions MDs in Shanghai, China. Methods We obtained admission data MDs, meteorological and pollution Shanghai from January 2008 to December 2015. Adjusted time trend, air pollution, relative humidity other confounders, a quasi-Poisson generalized additive model (GAM) combined with distributed lag non-linear (DLNM) was used analyze lag-exposure-response relationship between MDs. Results Total during study period were 93,971. With reference median (18.3 °C), there significant positive association above threshold (24.6 °C) MD visits at 0–1 days. The risks hot temperatures (33.1 °C, 99% percentile) over 0–1 days compared 1.266 (95% confidence intervals: 1.074–1.493). No effect cold weather observed. Conclusions This suggests that poses MD; health counseling cooling measures should be considered susceptible population.
