The objective of this study was to determine the extent of the influence of temperature and humidity on the number of heatstroke presentations. Three hundred and forty-five labourers presented to the Accident and Emergency Hospital in Abu Dhabi with heatstroke during a 3 month summer period. There was no significant predictive association between the maximum daily temperature and/or humidity and the presentation of heatstroke. There was no significant association with the maximum temperature on the previous day, day of the week or temperature trend. The largest statistical correlation was between the maximum temperature and humidity and the log of the number of cases. It is possible that there are other significant explanatory variables that we have not included in the model.
本研究的目的是确定温度和湿度对中暑就诊人数的影响程度。在夏季的3个月期间，有345名劳动者因中暑前往阿布扎比的急症医院就诊。日最高温度和/或湿度与中暑就诊之间没有显著的预测关联。与前一天的最高温度、星期几或温度趋势也没有显著关联。最大的统计相关性存在于最高温度和湿度与病例数的对数之间。可能还有其他重要的解释变量我们未纳入模型。
