The seasons associated with laboratory isolation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (for 1981-2004) and RSV-related emergency department admissions (for 1990-2004) ended 3.1 and 2.5 weeks earlier, respectively, per 1 degrees C increase in annual central England temperature (P=.002 and .043, respectively). Climate change may be shortening the RSV season.
1981年至2004年期间,呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)实验室分离的季节以及1990年至2004年期间与RSV相关的急诊科住院的季节,随着英格兰中部年平均气温每升高1摄氏度,分别提前结束了3.1周和2.5周(P值分别为0.002和0.043)。气候变化可能正在缩短RSV季节。
