Résumé
"OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of acute exposure to air pollutants (NO 2 and PM 10 ) on hospitalization of adults and older people with cardiovascular diseases in Western São Paulo. METHODS: Daily cardiovascular-related hospitalization data (CID10 – I00 to I99) were acquired by the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Unified Health System (DATASUS) from January 2009 to December 2012. Daily levels of NO 2 and PM 10 and weather data were obtained from Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (CETESB – São Paulo State Environmental Agency). To estimate the effects of air pollutants exposure on hospital admissions, generalized linear Poisson regression models were used. RESULTS: During the study period, 6,363 hospitalizations were analysed. On the day of NO 2 exposure, an increase of 1.12% (95%CI 0.05–2.20) was observed in the interquartile range along with an increase in hospital admissions. For PM 10 , a pattern of similar effect was observed; however, results were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Even though with values within established limits, NO 2 is an important short-term risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity."
