Short-term PM10 and emergency department admissions for selective cardiovascular

and respiratory diseases in Beijing, China

Wei Feng

Capital Medical University, China

his study aimed to examine the overall effects of PM10 onEDAs for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases,

including specifically, Cerebrovascular Events (CVE), Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), arrhythmia, Heart

Failure (HF), Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI), Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI), Chronic

Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma. We collected daily data for EDAs from the 10 largest

hospitals in Beijing, between January 2013 and December 2013 as well as daily measurements of PM10 from

17 stations in Beijing. The generalized-additive model was utilized to evaluate the associations between daily

PM10 and cardio-pulmonary disease admissions. In all, there were approximately 56,212 cardiovascular and

92,464 respiratory emergency admissions presented in this study. The largest estimate effects in EDAs of total

cardiovascular disease, CVE, IHD, total respiratory diseases, URTI, LRTI and COPD were found for PM10

at day 4 (accumulative) moving average, were 0.29% (95% CI: 0.12%, 0.46%), 0.36% (95% CI: 0.11%, 0.61%),

0.68% (95% CI: 0.25%, 1.10%), 0.34% (95% CI: 0.22%, 0.47%), 0.35% (95% CI: 0.18%, 0.51%), 0.34% (95% CI:

0.14%, 0.55%), 2.75% (95% CI: 1.38%, 4.12%) respectively. In two-pollutant models and full-pollutant model

modified confounding factors, the positive correlation remained unchanged. The elderly (age ≥65 years) and

male subjects were more susceptible to specific respiratory diseases. PM10’s impact on EDAs for HF was

found higher during the hot season however, EDAs for COPD peaked during the cold season. The study

markedly informed that PM10 pollution was strongly associated with EDAs for cardio-pulmonary diseases.

Wei Feng is currently pursuing his MS studies in Epidemiology and Health Statistics at School of Public Health, Capital Medical University, China.

His main research direction is the effect of air pollution on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the longitudinal study analysis of

early risk factors of Alzheimer’s disease.
