Extremely Hot Ambient Temperature and Injury-related Mortality

This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effects of extremely hot ambient temperatures on total number fatal injuries. Data were collected from a population-based mortality registry Thanh Hoa, province in North Central region Vietnam. qualified distributed lag non-linear model and calculated RR 95% CI adjusted for long-term trend absolute humidity. For entire population with 3,949 registered deaths due injuries during 2005-2007, after onset temperatures, an increased risk death was observed 9th day (95% CI) = 1.44 (1.06–1.97) reached peak 12th 1.58 (1.14–2.17), at 15th 1.49 (1.08–2.06). Men old adults identified as most vulnerable groups. confirmed positive association between injury-related 3.6 million people. The findings motivated further investigation into effect warm climate changes related other specific causes such road traffic, work-related injury, etc.
