Table 3 The impact of heatwave characteristics on IS.
From: Associations of heatwaves and their characteristics with ischaemic stroke hospital admissions
The characteristics of heatwave | RR(95%CI) | The characteristics of heatwave | RR(95%CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
The day in the heatwave | Meteorological factors during heatwaves | ||
The 1st-2nd day of the heatwave | 1.07(1.02, 1.12) | Low RH during heatwaves (<70%) | Reference |
The 3rd-4th days of the heatwave | 1.06(1.03, 1.10) | Moderate RH during heatwaves (70-77%) | 1.23(1.15, 1.34) |
The 5th and subsequent days of the heatwave | Reference | High RH during heatwaves (>77%) | 1.25(1.16, 1.35) |
The timing of the heatwave | Low DTR during heatwaves (<10℃) | 1.08(1.02, 1.14) | |
The first heatwave | 1.27(1.19, 1.35) | High DTR during heatwaves (≥ 10℃) | Reference |
The second heatwave | 1.24(1.16, 1.32) | Low AT during heatwaves (<31℃) | Reference |
The third and subsequent heatwaves | Reference | High AT during heatwaves (≥ 31℃) | 1.01(0.94, 1.06) |
