Abstract

To analyze the short-term effects of air pollution on the hospitalization rates of individuals with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) after adjusting for confounding factors including weather, day of the week, holidays, and long-term trends in Jinan, China.Hospitalization information was extracted based on data from the primary class 3-A hospitals in Jinan from 2013 to 2015. The concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, and O3 were obtained from Jinan Environment Monitoring Center. The relative risk and 95% confidence intervals of AECOPD, stroke, and MI were estimated using generalized additive models with quasi-Poisson distribution in the mgcv package, using R software, version 1.0.136.The incremental increased concentrations of particulate pollutants including PM2.5 and PM10 were significantly associated with increased risk of hospitalization of AECOPD, stroke, and MI, and the adverse influences of PM2.5 on these diseases were generally stronger than that of PM10. The incremental increased concentrations of gaseous pollutants including SO2, NO2, and O3 were significantly associated with increased risk of hospitalization of stroke and MI in this population.Air pollution has significant adverse effects on hospitalization rates of individuals with AECOPD, stroke, and MI in Jinan, China.
