Role of climatic factors in the incidence of Takotsubo syndrome: A nationwide study from 2012 to 2016.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aimed to investigate the influence of climatic factors on the onset of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS).

Methods and results

We performed a retrospective nationwide study among patients registered in the Japanese Registry of All Cardiac and Vascular Diseases and Diagnosis Procedure Combination (JROAD-DPC) discharge database, between 2012 and 2016. Before the analysis, a multicentre validation study was conducted for assessing the accuracy of the JROAD-DPC classification for TTS. First, we investigated the seasonal variation of incidences of TTS. Second, we analysed the associations between the incidence of TTS and climatic factors using the hierarchical Poisson regression modelling, and we also investigated the associations between typhoon landfalls and hospitalizati
