Effects of climate and air quality on RSV infection hospitalization among children in Guangzhou from 2017 to 2023
This study aimed to explore the link between hospitalizations due to RSV infection and factors such as climate and air quality among children in Guangzhou. We included RSV infection cases from January 2017 to October 2023 in a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou, China, and then collected daily meteorological data including air temperature and relative humidity as well as air pollutant data including PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO, O3, and NO2. Finally, we established a distributional lag nonlinear model (DLNM) to investigate the association of hospitalization for RSV infection with meteorological factors and air quality. Of the 1922 reports of RSV infection collected, 96.31 % of the infections were under 5 years of age. Our study revealed a correlation between reductions in air temperature and relative humidity and the rise in hospitalizations due to RSV infection. With respect to air quality, high concentrations of PM2.5, O3, and NO2 increase the risk of RSV infection, with the relative risk increasing with pollutant concentration. In addition, a 3-week exposure to moderate concentrations of PM2.5 (17-23 ) also increased the risk of RSV infection. For other air pollutants, there is no obvious pattern found.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric Environment has an open access mirror journal Atmospheric Environment: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Atmospheric Environment is the international journal for scientists in different disciplines related to atmospheric composition and its impacts. The journal publishes scientific articles with atmospheric relevance of emissions and depositions of gaseous and particulate compounds, chemical processes and physical effects in the atmosphere, as well as impacts of the changing atmospheric composition on human health, air quality, climate change, and ecosystems.
