A time-series analysis of short-term ambient ozone exposure and hospitalizations from acute myocardial infarction in Henan, China.

ABSTRACT: Epidemiological studies in recent years have identified an association between exposure to air pollutants and acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, the association between short-term ozone (O₃) exposure and AMI hospitalization remains unclear, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, this study collected information on 24,489 AMI patients, including daily air pollutant and meteorological data in Henan, China, between 2016 and 2021. A distributed lagged nonlinear model combined with a Poisson regression model was used to estimate the nonlinear lagged effect of O₃ on AMI hospitalizations. We also quantified the effects of O₃ on the number of AMI hospitalizations, hospitalization days, and hospitalization costs. The results showed that single- an
