1997-1999年中部地區空氣污染與醫院醫療人數之研究

Effect of air pollution on daily clinic treatments for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in Central Taiwan, 1997-1999

摘要


本研究主要探討台灣中部地區1997-1999年空氣污染對於醫院門診人數之影響.作者採用環保署位於中部地區10個測站之污染物資料(包括O3、PM10、NO2、SO2)以及台中氣象站之氣象資料對中部地區1997-1999年呼吸性疾病與心血管疾病之門診人數進行分析。使用Generalized additive models移除長時間趨勢、季節性變化與氣象因子對門診人數之影響,再以Poisson regression控制工作日與否及假日,來探討空氣污染對人體健康的影響。在單一污染物模式中,控制空氣污染對門診人數的延遲效應(lag effect),顯示所有污染物對於呼吸性疾病族群有顯著之相關,每上升單位濃度,O3(包括1hr、4hr及8hr)、PM10、NO2(1hr及24hr)與SO2對各族群之相對風險分別為1.0019(0-1歲,95%CI:1.0012,1.0026)、1.0020(0-4歲,95%CI:1.0013,1.0028)、1.0026(0-4歲,95%CI:1.0017,1.0035)、1.0008(5-14歲,95%CI:1.0003,1.0012)、1.0072(5-14歲,95%CI:1.0054,1.0091)、1.0045(5-14歲,95%CI:1.0034,1.0056)及1.0197(5-14歲,95%CI:1.0135,1.0258),但對於心血管疾病患者較無顯著相關。SO2雖較其它污染物對呼吸性疾病與心血管疾病影響大,但並無統計上的顯著差異。本研究最後對多污染模式亦進行探討,在控制PM10濃度之後,其餘污染物對呼吸性疾病人數均顯著上升。

This study investigated the short-term effects on the daily hospital admissions for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases after exposed to different air pollutants in the central Taiwan. Generalized additive models were used to adjust for confounders (e.q., seasonal trend, weather). Poisson regression analysis was used to study associations between air pollution and daily admissions. All admissions for respiratory disease (ICD 460-519) and cardiovascular disease (ICD 390-459) to hospitals in central Taiwan districts from 1997 to 1999, and patients had divided into 5 groups according to their ages: 0-4, 5-14, 15-64, 65 years old and above, and all age levels put together. The effects of all the selected air pollutants (lagged 2-3 day) was significantly associated with an increase in daily admissions for respiratory disease in these 5 study groups. The relative risks of admissions for respiratory disease associated with O3 (1hr, 4hr and 8hr)、PM10, NO2(1hr and 24hr) and SO2 were 1.0019 (for 0-4y, 95%CI:1.0012,1.0026), 1.0020(for 0-4y,95%CI:1.0013,1.0028), 1.0026(for 0-4y, 95%CI:1.0017, 1.0035), 1.0008(for 5-14y, 95%CI:1.0003, 1.0012), 1.0072(for 5-14y, 95%CI:1.0054, 1.0091), 1.0045(for 5-14y, 95%CI:1.0034, 1.0056) and 1.0197(for 5-14y, 95%CI:1.0135, 1.0258) respectively. Although the effect of SO2 on the hospital admission was higher than other selected pollutants, there was no statistic significant difference. On the other hand, the other selected pollutants had significantly increased the respiratory disease hospital admissions after controlling the concentration of PM10 in the multi-pollutant models.
