Abstract:
Objective :To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of heatstroke and its correlation with meteorological factors in Shaoxing in 2017,and to provide evidence for heatstroke prevention and control.
Methods :The data of heatstroke cases and the daily meteorological indexes were collected from July 2017 to August 2017 in Shaoxing to describe the spatial,temporal and population distribution of heatstroke cases. The correlation between heatstroke and meteorological factors was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression model.
Results :A total of 759 cases of heatstroke were reported,with an average age of（53.3 ±17.9）years. There were 487 males cases（64.16%）and 272 female cases（35.84%）. There were 618 cases of mild heatstroke（81.42%）and 141 cases of severe heatstroke（18.58%）. There were six cases of death from severe heatstroke,and the mortality of severe heatstroke was 4.26%. Minimum temperature（rs=0.851,P<0.001）,maximum temperature（rs=0.726,P<0.001）and wind speed（rs=0.285,P=0.025）were positively correlated with the incidence of heatstroke,and relative humidity（rs=-0.693,P<0.001）and rainfall（rs=-0.414,P=0.001）were negatively correlated with the incidence of heatstroke. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that high daily minimum temperature was a risk factor for severe heatstroke（OR=1.854,95%CI：1.606-2.140）.
Conclusion: The mortality of severe heatstroke patients was high in Shaoxing,the daily minimum temperature was correlated with severe heatstroke.
