Association between ambient temperature and cardiovascular diseases related hospital admissions in Lanzhou, China.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, ranking first in the global disease burden. Evidence on association between temperature and cardiovascular disease is insufficient and inconsistent in developing countries. In this study, a distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was used to determine the association between daily mean temperature and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) related admission in Lanzhou 2015-2019. We included 41,389 patients with CVD in this study. The relative risk (RR) of CVD admission increased significantly with temperature in lag 5-10 days, and we found harvesting effect of temperature in the study, shown as decreased RR in lag 15-30 days. The maximum RR was 1.15 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.30), corresponding to
