Projecting Temperature-Attributable Mortality and Hospital Admissions due to Enteric Infections in the Philippines.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Enteric infections cause significant deaths, and global projection studies suggest that mortality from enteric infections will increase in the future with warmer climate. However, a major limitation of these projection studies is the use of risk estimates derived from nonmortality data to project excess enteric infection mortality associated with temperature because of the lack of studies that used actual deaths.

Objective

We quantified the associations of daily temperature with both mortality and hospital admissions due to enteric infections in the Philippines. These associations were applied to projections under various climate and population change scenarios.

Methods

We modeled nonlinear temperature associations of mortality and hospital admissions due t
