■气温上升导致斯堪的纳维亚半岛冬季温和。在某些地区,这可能会增加在0°C(零交叉)附近波动的冬季天数。经常有人认为,在这样的日子里,结冰的风险更高,这可能导致跌倒和道路交通事故的倾向。这里,我们研究了零交叉天数与因与冰雪或交通事故相关的跌倒住院和门诊就诊次数之间的关系.
■我们使用泊松回归来检查零交叉天数与2001-2017年瑞典斯德哥尔摩城市因冰雪和交通事故而跌倒的住院和门诊就诊发生率之间的关系。马尔默和于默奥。
■我们发现,由于与冰雪有关的跌倒,零交叉天数与门诊病例数之间存在正相关且显着的关联。这些关联在于默奥最强,但在斯德哥尔摩和马尔默则不那么明显。在与运输事故有关的伤害方面,我们在斯德哥尔摩发现住院病例与零交叉数之间存在显著关联,但在马尔默或于默奥则没有。
■过零点数量的增加可能会增加因冰雪或交通事故导致跌倒的门诊和住院就诊。这种影响在北部城市于默奥比在马尔默更为明显,瑞典最南端的一个城市。
UNASSIGNED: Rising temperatures lead to milder winters in Scandinavia. In certain regions, this could increase the number of winter days that fluctuate around 0°C (zero crossings). It has been frequently suggested that there is a higher risk of icy conditions during such days, which may lead to a predisposition to falls and road traffic accidents. Here, we examine the association between number of days with zero crossings and the number of hospitalisations and outpatient visits due to falls related to ice or snow or transport accidents.
UNASSIGNED: We used Poisson regression to examine the association between the number of days with zero crossings and the incidence of inpatient and outpatient visits related to falls due to ice and snow and to transport accidents during 2001-2017 in the Swedish cities of Stockholm, Malmö and Umeå.
UNASSIGNED: We found a positive and significant association between the number of days of zero crossings and the number of in- and outpatient cases due to falls related to ice and snow. These associations were strongest in Umeå but less obvious in Stockholm and Malmö. In terms of injuries related to transport accidents, we saw a significant association between inpatient cases and number of zero crossings in Stockholm but not in Malmö or Umeå.
UNASSIGNED:
An increased number of zero crossings may increase out- and inpatient visits related to falls due to ice and snow or transport accidents. This effect is more pronounced in the northern city of Umeå than in Malmö, a city in Sweden\'s southern-most region.
