Mortality risks associated with floods in 761 communities worldwide: time series study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate lag-response associations and effect modifications of exposure to floods with risks of all cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality on a global scale.

Design

Time series study.

Setting

761 communities in 35 countries or territories with at least one flood event during the study period.

Participants

Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative Research Network database, Australian Cause of Death Unit Record File, New Zealand Integrated Data Infrastructure, and the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and their Health Network database.

Main outcome measures

The main outcome was daily counts of deaths. An estimation for the lag-response association between flood and daily mortality risk was modelled, an
