To examine the effect of seasonality on femoral fracture incidence among people residing in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
Ecological study based on a consecutive series of 216,348 reports of hospital admissions caused by femoral fractures. A Bayesian statistical model was used for time series analysis, considering the monthly average number of events of femoral fractures per day as a dependent variable.
Among the female population, significant seasonal effects were observed only for older women, aged 60 years or more. Among younger men (aged less than 20 years) there is not a clear seasonal effect, but among the other age groups there seems to exist a higher number of cases of femoral fractures during the coldest months of the year.
In general, more cases of fractures occur during the coldest months of the year; however, men and women have different patterns of incidence according to each age group.
研究季节性对居住在巴西圣保罗州人群股骨骨折发病率的影响。
基于一系列连续的216348例因股骨骨折导致的住院报告进行生态学研究。采用贝叶斯统计模型进行时间序列分析,将每日股骨骨折事件的月平均数量作为因变量。
在女性人群中,仅60岁及以上老年女性存在显著的季节效应。在年轻男性(年龄小于20岁)中,没有明显的季节效应,但在其他年龄组中,一年中最冷的月份似乎股骨骨折病例数更多。
总体而言,一年中最冷的月份骨折病例更多;然而,男性和女性在各年龄组中的发病率模式不同。
