The correlation between patient visits and meteorological parameters were analyzed regarding asthmatic children who visited the outpatient emergency clinics at Teikyo University Hospital in Tokyo and Ogaki Municipal Hospital in Gifu, during the two years of 1986 and 1987. The yearly climatological changes are quite similar in both areas. Moreover, variations in the number of patient visits were also remarkably similar in both areas. High temperatures and high vapor pressure significantly correlated with increased numbers of visits in both areas. High humidity and high barometric pressure had some correlation with increased numbers of visits in both areas. As for wind direction, northerly synoptic winds had a significant correlation with increased numbers of visits in Tokyo, while contrarily, southerly winds produced the same effect in Ogaki. Precipitation and cloud density showed no correlation with the number of patient visits in either area.
分析了1986年和1987年期间，在东京帝京大学医院和岐阜县大垣市立医院门诊急诊就诊的哮喘儿童的就诊次数与气象参数之间的相关性。这两个地区的年气候学变化非常相似。此外，两个地区的就诊人数变化也非常相似。高温和高水汽压与两个地区就诊人数的增加显著相关。高湿度和高气压与两个地区就诊人数的增加有一定相关性。至于风向，东京地区偏北的天气系统风与就诊人数的增加显著相关，而相反，大垣地区南风有同样的影响。降水和云量与两个地区的就诊人数均无相关性。
