Air pollution and stroke hospitalization in the Beibu Gulf Region of China: A case-crossover analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between air pollution and stroke has been extensively studied, however, the evidence regarding the association between air pollution and hospitalization due to stroke and its subtypes in coastal areas of China is limited.

Objective

To estimate the associations between air pollution and hospitalizations of stroke and its subtypes in the Beibu Gulf Region of China.

Methods

We conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study in 15 cities in Beibu Gulf Region in China from 2013 to 2016. Exposures to PM₁, PM_2.5, PM₁₀, SO₂, NO₂, O₃, and CO on the case and control days were assessed at residential addresses using bilinear interpolation. Conditional logistic regressions were construc
