20.500.12556/RUL-130621 Influence of daily individual meteorological parameters on the incidence of acute coronary syndrome Background: A nationwide study was conducted to explore the short term association between daily individual meteorological parameters and the incidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with coronary emergency catheter interventions in the Republic of Slovenia, a south-central European country. Method: We linked meteorological data with daily ACS incidence for the entire population of Slovenia, for the population over 65 years of age and for the population under 65 years of age. Data were collected daily for a period of 4 years from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2011. In line with existing studies, we used a main effect generalized linear model with a log-link-function and a Poisson distribution of ACS. Results and Conclusions: Three of the studied meteorological factors (daily average temperature, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity) all have relevant and significant influences on ACS incidences for the entire population. However, the ACS incidence for the population over 65 is only affected by daily average temperature, while the ACS incidence for the population under 65 is affected by daily average pressure and humidity. In terms of ambient temperature, the overall findings of our study are in line with the findings of the majority of contemporary European studies, which also note a negative correlation. The results regarding atmospheric pressure and humidity are less in line, due to considerable variations in results. Additionally, the number of available European studies on atmospheric pressure and humidity is relatively low. The fourth studied variable—season—does not influence ACS incidence in a statistically significant way. cardiovascular disease meteorological factors atmospheric pressure humidity temperature myocardial infarction weather Europe kardiovaskularne bolezni meteorološke spremenljivke atmosferski pritisk vlaga temperatura miokardni infarkt vreme Evropa true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-09-16 11:22:59 2021-09-16 11:23:00 2022-09-09 04:17:19 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2014 0 0 Str. 11616-11626 iss. 11 Vol. 11 Nov. 2014 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.1:551.515 1661-7827 10.3390/ijerph111111616 1536032195 RAZ_Ravljen_Mirjam_2014.pdf RAZ_Ravljen_Mirjam_2014.pdf 1 D0D281BECDE1932A14692592BFB7E08A 9ca0c2779029fce0cbcf23ddbf33fd5cc85d24413f068fab525e3ca9fdd21e43 a99040f4-16d0-11ec-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=147764 http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/11/11/11616 1 6da52b1a-16cf-11ec-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=147763 Zdravstvena fakulteta Biotehniška fakulteta Fakulteta za računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
