WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Numerous epidemiological studies have documented the association between ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO) and mortality and morbidity of respiratory diseases, however, research on the effect of NO on the length of hospital stay (LOS) and hospitalization expenditure is limited.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: This study collected the respiratory hospitalization, hospital expenditure, and LOS for respiratory diseases from 2017-2019 in Shanxi, China, and comprehensively evaluated the association between ambient NO exposure and respiratory hospitalization, expenditure, and LOS.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: This study provides evidence on the association between ambient NO and respiratory burden, suggesting that continuously reducing the NO concentrations could prevent respiratory disease-associated hospital admissions and decrease the relative burden in Shanxi Province and other similar regions.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些?:众多流行病学研究已记录了环境二氧化氮(NO)与呼吸系统疾病的死亡率和发病率之间的关联,然而,关于NO对住院时长(LOS)和住院费用影响的研究有限。
本报告新增了哪些内容?:本研究收集了中国山西省2017 - 2019年呼吸系统疾病的住院情况、住院费用及住院时长,并综合评估了环境NO暴露与呼吸系统疾病住院、费用及住院时长之间的关联。
对公共卫生实践有何启示?:本研究提供了环境NO与呼吸负担之间关联的证据,表明持续降低NO浓度可预防与呼吸系统疾病相关的住院,并减轻山西省及其他类似地区的相关负担。
