Association between wildfire smoke exposure and Seattle, Washington Pediatric Hospital services, 2006–2020
Pacific Northwest wildfire smoke events have been increasing in prevalence and severity over the past three decades, resulting in documented negative health outcomes in adults. However, there is less evidence demonstrating the effect of wildfire smoke in pediatric populations. To evaluate the association between wildfire smoke exposure and healthcare utilization in a pediatric tertiary medical center in Seattle, WA. We utilized a case–crossover study to determine the odds of pediatric emergency department (ED) visit/ hospital admission at Seattle Children’s Hospital on wildfire smoke days versus non-wildfire smoke days during wildfire season (June to September), 2006–2020. The health outcomes dataset reports hospital encounters in two categories: ED visits or admissions that are for inpatient or observational purposes.
