Thirty-eight patients less than 30-year-old with spontaneous pneumothorax, of which onset date were known between January 2001 and December 2007, were included in this study. Meteorological factors such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, amount of rainfall and actual sunshine duration were assessed for the onset days of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP days) compared with days without pneumothorax (non-SP days) in the analyzed periods. The difference of those meteorological factors between the index day and one day before were also assessed. No significant difference was found in meteorological factors between SP and non-SP days. While, significant change in minimal temperature between SP days and non-SP days was found (+1.000 degrees C vs -0.015 degrees C, p=0.019). Meteorological factors may affect the onset of spontaneous pneumothorax in young adults. However, further assessment of accumulation of the patients is necessary including multi-institute study.
本研究纳入了38例年龄小于30岁的自发性气胸患者，其发病日期在2001年1月至2007年12月之间已知。分析了温度、湿度、气压、降雨量和实际日照时长等气象因素，比较了分析期间自发性气胸发病日（SP日）与无气胸日（非SP日）的情况。还评估了指标日与前一天这些气象因素的差异。SP日和非SP日之间的气象因素未发现显著差异。然而，SP日和非SP日之间的最低温度有显著变化（分别为+1.000℃和-0.015℃，p = 0.019）。气象因素可能影响年轻成年人自发性气胸的发病。然而，有必要对更多患者进行进一步评估，包括多机构研究。
