The seasonal variation in the necropsy incidence of significant pulmonary thromboembolism in Hong Kong was investigated. A total of 3446 adult Chinese necropsies carried out in Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong, from 1987 to 1992 showed an overall rate of 3.77% for significant pulmonary thromboembolism. The rates for individual months were calculated and compared. The pattern of seasonal variation showed that there are two troughs in early summer (June, July) and early winter (November, December), with rates between 1.6% and 2.4%. The rates in the months for the rest of the year were between 4.0% and 5.5%. The overall pattern was similar to that of the temperate zone although the climate was quite different.
对香港地区显著肺血栓栓塞尸检发生率的季节性变化进行了调查。1987年至1992年在香港玛丽医院进行的3446例成年中国患者尸检显示，显著肺血栓栓塞的总体发生率为3.77%。计算并比较了各月的发生率。季节性变化模式显示，初夏（6月、7月）和初冬（11月、12月）有两个低谷，发生率在1.6%至2.4%之间。一年中其他月份的发生率在4.0%至5.5%之间。尽管气候差异很大，但总体模式与温带地区相似。
