Estimating mortality displacement during and after heat waves.
The proportion of excess deaths occurring as a result of hot weather that are brought forward by only a short time ("displaced") is important but not easy to estimate. A recent proposal by Saha et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2014;179(4):467-474) was to estimate this using a "displacement ratio" equal to the sum of deficits of daily deaths below an expected baseline divided by the sum of excesses over ...
متن کاملIncreasing probability of mortality during Indian heat waves
Rising global temperatures are causing increases in the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events, such as floods, droughts, and heat waves. We analyze changes in summer temperatures, the frequency, severity, and duration of heat waves, and heat-related mortality in India between 1960 and 2009 using data from the India Meteorological Department. Mean temperatures across India have risen...
متن کاملMortality in Spain during the heat waves of summer 2003.
The effect of the elevated temperatures on mortality experienced in Europe during the summer of 2003 was observed in several countries. This study, carried out in Spain, describes mortality between 1 June and 31 August and evaluates the effect of the heat wave on mortality. Observed deaths were obtained from official death registers from 50 provincial capitals. Observed deaths were compared wit...
متن کاملMortality and displaced mortality during heat waves in the Czech Republic.
The aims of this study were to assess impacts of hot summer periods on mortality in the Czech Republic and to quantify the size of the short-term displacement effect which resulted in lower than expected mortality after heat waves. The analysis covered the period 1982-2000 when several extraordinarily hot summers occurred in central Europe. Daily total all-cause mortality and mortality due to c...
