To assess the possible influence of atmospheric factors on the incidence of Bell's palsy, a retrospective case review of patients seen between 1 January 1992 and 30 June 1996, was designed. The population included all Bell's palsy patients in whom the exact date of onset of paralysis (day, month, year) was known. The following parameters were registered daily by the Spanish National Service of Meteorology throughout the period of survey: temperature, atmospheric pressure and air pollutants (total number of particles and levels of SO2, CO, O3, NO2, NO, CH4 and total organic carbon). The only factor significantly related to Bell's palsy was temperature (P = 0.0164). Lower temperatures were associated with a higher incidence of Bell's palsy. A relationship between atmospheric pressure and/or air pollutants and Bell's palsy was not found.
为评估大气因素对贝尔麻痹发病率可能产生的影响,我们设计了一项针对1992年1月1日至1996年6月30日期间就诊患者的回顾性病例研究。研究对象包括所有已知确切麻痹发病日期(日、月、年)的贝尔麻痹患者。在整个调查期间,西班牙国家气象服务部门每天记录以下参数:温度、气压和空气污染物(颗粒物总数以及二氧化硫、一氧化碳、臭氧、二氧化氮、一氧化氮、甲烷和总有机碳的水平)。与贝尔麻痹显著相关的唯一因素是温度(P = 0.0164)。较低温度与贝尔麻痹的较高发病率相关。未发现气压和/或空气污染物与贝尔麻痹之间存在关联。
