Long-term Effect of Air Pollution on Hospital Admissions among Medicare Participants Using a Doubly Robust Additive Hazards Model (DRAHM)

Effect of Air Pollution Control on Hospital Admissions and Mortality

Air pollution and hospital admissions for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke among medicare beneficiaries.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association between short-term elevations in ambient air particles and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is well documented. Ambient particles may similarly increase the risk of stroke. METHODS We evaluated the association between daily levels of respirable particulate matter (aerodynamic diameter < or =10 microm, PM10) and hospital admission for isch...

Coarse particulate matter air pollution and hospital admissions for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases among Medicare patients.

CONTEXT Health risks of fine particulate matter of 2.5 microm or less in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) have been studied extensively over the last decade. Evidence concerning the health risks of the coarse fraction of greater than 2.5 microm and 10 microm or less in aerodynamic diameter (PM10-2.5) is limited. OBJECTIVE To estimate risk of hospital admissions for cardiovascular and respiratory ...

A spatio-temporal model for estimating the long-term effects of air pollution on respiratory hospital admissions in Greater London.

It has long been known that air pollution is harmful to human health, as many epidemiological studies have been conducted into its effects. Collectively, these studies have investigated both the acute and chronic effects of pollution, with the latter typically based on individual level cohort designs that can be expensive to implement. As a result of the increasing availability of small-area st...

Effect of Air Pollution on the Emergency Admissions of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Patients, Using the Air Quality Model: A Study in Tehran, 2005-2014

Background: Air pollution is one of the most important factors threatening the health of&nbsp;citizens. It increases the prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as&nbsp;emergency admissions to hospitals in the polluted metropolitan cities. The present study was&nbsp;conducted using Air Quality (AirQ) model and aimed to investigate the effects of air pollution&nbsp;on the n...
