Our findings indicate that thunderstorm asthma may be an unidentified environmental risk factor for severe supports the work of the Press Council of Ireland and the Office of the Press Ombudsman, and our staff operate within the Code of Practice. This model, while previously described with specific epidemic events, has not been well studied in a time series model to evaluate long-term risk, using measurement of both lightning and pollen, and never using unique small area exposure assignment and outcome counts. CONCLUSIONS:Our results support an association between co-occurrence of lightning and pollen and risk of asthma hospitalization. Occurrence of lightning alone or pollen alone shows no association with risk of severe asthma. Our findings were robust to adjustment for temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, ozone, PM2.5, day of week, and natural splines for seasonal variation in asthma cases. RESULTS:We observed a 4.4% (RR = 1.044 95% CI (1.013,1.076), increase in asthma emergency department visits on the day of thunderstorm asthma event and a 3.2% (RR 1.032 95% CI (1.003,1.062) increase on the day after the storm event. We use a 2-stage approach combining zip code level quasi-Poisson time-series regressions in a meta-analysis to estimate an overall relative risk of hospitalizations during thunderstorm asthma events. Daily counts of asthma-related emergency department visits were acquired from the Minnesota Hospital Association. We defined thunderstorm asthma events as daily occurrence of 2 or more lightning strikes during periods of high pollen, interpolated using weather and pollen monitor data and modeled lightning counts. Then, divide the number of seconds by three and you have figured out the distance to the thunderstorm in kilometers: Example: 12 seconds pass between lightning and thunder 12 seconds divided by 3 equals 4 that means the thunderstorm is 4 kilometers away. Paul metropolitan area for the years 2007-2018. Just count the seconds between the lightning and the thunder. METHODS: We estimate the change in risk between thunderstorm asthma events and asthma-related emergency room visits in the Minneapolis-St. Remember, rubber-soled shoes and rubber tires. BACKGROUND AND AIM: Studies have shown an acute association between the occurrence of thunderstorm conditions in the presence of high pollen and severe asthma, but minimal work has studied these events over a multi-year time series, using detailed measurements of storms and pollen. Although you may be injured if lightning strikes your car, you are much safer inside a vehicle than outside.
