The outcomes included medical costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and net monetary loss (NML). Beijing annual average PM_2.5 concentration was around 105 µg/m³ during 2013-2015. Therefore, we estimated the BMJ global healthe003160https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC7577033biostudies-literatureBurden of cardiovascular diseases associated with fine particulate matter in Beijing, China: an economic modelling study.PMC7577033Jiang YNi WJiang SfalseBurden of cardiovascular diseases associated with fine particulate matter in Beijing, China: an economic modelling study.<h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate the economic and humanistic burden associated with cardiovascular diseases that were attributable to fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μg/m³ in aerodynamic diameter; PM_2.5) in Beijing.<h4>Methods</h4>This study used a health economic modelling approach to compare the actual annual average PM_2.5 concentration with the PM_2.5 concentration limit (35 µg/m³) as defined by the Chinese Ambient Air Quality Standard in terms of cardiovascular disease outcomes in Beijing adult population.
