The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and severity of epistaxis under different air conditions.
This prospective study of 310 patients was conducted between January 2010 and December 2010 in the Diyarbakir State Hospital. Epistaxis rates were examined in under conditions of mean temperature (MT; degrees Celsius), mean humidity (MH; (%), air pressure (AP; atmosphere bar), sunlight duration (SD; hours), rainfall (kg/m2), and wind speed (km/hour).
A positive correlation between epistaxis rates and temperature was found, but the correlation between epistaxis rates and humidity, air pressure, and rainfall were negative. Additionally, no correlation was seen between epistaxis rates and either wind speed or sunlight duration.
This clinical study provides evidence to support the idea that meteorological factors should be considered risk factors of epistaxis rates.
本研究旨在确定不同空气条件下鼻出血的发生率和严重程度。
2010年1月至2010年12月期间，在迪亚巴克尔州立医院对310例患者进行了这项前瞻性研究。在平均温度（MT；摄氏度）、平均湿度（MH；%）、气压（AP；大气压）、日照时长（SD；小时）、降雨量（kg/m²）和风速（km/小时）等条件下检查鼻出血发生率。
发现鼻出血发生率与温度呈正相关，但鼻出血发生率与湿度、气压和降雨量呈负相关。此外，鼻出血发生率与风速或日照时长之间均未发现相关性。
这项临床研究提供了证据，支持气象因素应被视为鼻出血发生率风险因素这一观点。
