Abstract

Aims: To investigate the effect of fine particulate matter and weather condition on hospitalization of stroke among elderly people in Da Nang. Method: Cross- sectional study was used in this research, retrospective data were collected and analyzed by Stata 14.0. The data included the hospitalization date, diagnostic code I61, I63 (ICD-10) of each hospitalization, and the age and sex of the patient; weather conditions (temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind) and PM 2.5. Result: The number of patients admitted for stroke was 257. Hospital admission rates for ischemic stroke increased with the increases in PM 2.5 and diurnal temperature range or the decrease in humidity. Hospital admission rates for hemorrhagic stroke increased when the diurnal temperature range or the maximum temperature decreased. Conclusion: PM 2.5 levels and weather conditions impacted hospitalization for stroke.
