Emergency Hospital Admissions for Cardiovascular Causes Attributable to Air Pollution and Extreme Temperatures in Spain: Influence of Economic and Demographic Factors in a Nationwide Study.

ABSTRACT: Using generalised linear models (GLMs) with a Poisson link, this study analysed the short-term effect of NO₂, ozone, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 on the daily number of emergency hospital admissions due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), acute cerebrovascular disease, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and ischaemic heart disease (IHD). The impact of the minimum daily temperature in cold waves and maximum daily temperature in heat waves was likewise analysed. Specific dose-response functions were calculated for each province and cause of admission considered. We used random effects mixed models to analyse the relationship between the percentage of admissions in each province and the following provincial variables: income level; number of inhabitants; population percentage a
