To evaluate the relationship between meteorological factors in North-western Greece and the incidence of bronchiolitis.
Meteorological data (air temperature and rainfall) for Ioannina city in North-western Greece and medical data from hospitalised patients at University Hospital of Ioannina were collected between January 2002 and December 2013. The association between meteorological factors and rate of hospitalisation due to bronchiolitis was investigated. The data processing was done using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and applying the chi-square test at contingency tables of the parameters.
Of the 792 hospitalised cases, 670 related to infants (<1 year) and 122 concerned patients aged 1-2 years old. The disease is more common among boys (59.5%) than girls (40.5%). The disease course through the year has a double variation with a main maximum in March and a main minimum in August. The statistical study showed statistically significant correlation of bronchiolitis with: (a) the temperature parameters on an annual basis; (b) precipitation in autumn and dryness in spring; and (c) with sudden changes in diurnal temperature range on an annual basis.
A peak incidence of bronchiolitis was noticed in cold and wet seasons during the five days preceding hospitalisation.
评估希腊西北部的气象因素与细支气管炎发病率之间的关系。
收集了2002年1月至2013年12月期间希腊西北部约阿尼纳市的气象数据（气温和降雨量）以及约阿尼纳大学医院住院患者的医疗数据。研究了气象因素与因细支气管炎住院率之间的关联。数据处理使用Pearson积矩相关系数，并在参数的列联表中应用卡方检验。
在792例住院病例中，670例为婴儿（<1岁），122例为1 - 2岁患者。该疾病在男孩中（59.5%）比女孩中（40.5%）更常见。全年的病程有双重变化，主要高峰在3月，主要低谷在8月。统计学研究表明细支气管炎与以下因素存在统计学显著相关性：（a）年度温度参数；（b）秋季降水和春季干燥；（c）年度日温差的突然变化。
在住院前五天，寒冷潮湿季节细支气管炎发病率出现高峰。
