急诊就诊量与气象要素的相关性分析

Correlation between the volume of emergency department visits and meteorological factors

目的探讨急诊就诊量与气象要素的关系。方法分析2005年1月至2006年12月本院急诊就诊量的变化特征,并与同期杭州市气象资料进行相关性分析。结果7月份的急诊日就诊人次最高,而2月份最低。使用多元线性回归模型发现,平均相对湿度、最高气温、最低气温和最大风速与急诊就诊量显著相关。结论急诊就诊量与气象要素密切相关。

Objective To explore correlation betwean the volume of emergency department visits and meteorological factors. Methods Conclation between the volume of emergency department visits at Zhejiang Provincial People＇s Hospital in 2005 - 2006 and meteorological factors during the same period was analyzed. Results The volume of emergancy department visits was highest in July and lowest in February. Average humidity, maximum temperature, minimum temperature and maximum wind speed were significantly correlated with the volume of emergency department visits in a linear regression model.
