A retrospective study of patients attending the emergency department with acute asthma was performed in Bermuda. Climatic data (barometric pressure, rainfall, humidity, and wind strength and direction) were obtained and compared with frequency of exacerbations of asthma. Three factors--namely, relative humidity, average daily temperature, and northeasterly winds--were found to be related to worsening asthma. Owing to Bermuda's lack of pollution and aeroallergens it was thought that these weather parameters had a direct effect on the asthmatic population.
在百慕大对前往急诊科就诊的急性哮喘患者进行了一项回顾性研究。获取了气候数据(气压、降雨量、湿度、风力和风向),并将其与哮喘发作频率进行比较。发现相对湿度、日平均温度和东北风这三个因素与哮喘病情恶化有关。由于百慕大缺乏污染和空气过敏原,人们认为这些天气参数对哮喘患者群体有直接影响。
