The effect of Meteorological Factors on Myocardial Infarction with ST Segment Elevation, A Single Center Experience

Abstract

Öz Giriş ve Amaç: Bazı meteorolojik faktörler ile akut koroner sendrom (AKS) arasında ilişki olabileceğini düşündüren çalışmalar olmasına rağmen, meteorolojik faktörler ile AKS alt grupları arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendiren yeterli sayıda çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, meteorolojik faktörlerin acil servise başvuran ST segment yükselmeli miyokard enfarktüsü (STEMI) sayısı üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu tek merkezli, retrospektif çalışmada, acil servise başvuran ve sonrasında STEMI ve NSTEMI tanısı alan ve koroner yoğun bakım ünitesine kabul edilen hastalar incelendi. Veri analizinden önce etik kurul onayı alınmıştır (karar no. 2022/154). Meteorolojik faktörlerin STEMI üzerindeki etkileri Poisson regresyon analizi yöntemleri kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: STEMI başvuru sayısını etkileyen meteorolojik faktörler Poisson dağılımına göre analiz edildiğinde, meteorolojik faktörler arasında sıcaklığın STEMI başvuru sayısını etkilediği görülmüştür. Sıcaklıktaki 10C'lik artış STEMI başvuru sayısında %5'lik bir artışa neden olmuştur (Odds Oranı: 1,05, %95 Güven Aralığı: 1,001 - 1,110, p=0,036). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, STEMI başvurularının yüksek sıcaklıkla birlikte arttığını göstermektedir. Bu doğrultuda sıcak havalarda artacak STEMI vakalarına hızlı ve etkin erişim için hastane öncesi sistemin buna göre düzenlenmesi düşünülebilir. Abstract Aim; Although there are studies suggesting that there may be a relationship between some meteorological factors and acute coronary syndrome, there are not enough studies evaluating the relationship between meteorological factors and acute coronary syndrome subgroups. This study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of meteorological factors on the number of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction admitted to the emergency department. Method; In this single-center, retrospective study, we examined patients who presented to the emergency department and were subsequently diagnosed with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and admitted to the coronary intensive care unit. The ethics committee's approval was obtained before data analysis (decision no. 2022/154). We calculated the effects of meteorological factors on the incidence of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction using Poisson regression analysis methods. Results; When the meteorological factors affecting number of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction admissions were analyzed according to the Poisson distribution, it was seen that temperature among the meteorological factors affected number of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction admissions. A 1 0C increase in temperature caused a 5% increase in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction admissions (Odds Ratio: 1.05, 95% Confidence Interval: 1.001 - 1.110, p=0.036). Conclusion; This study shows that ST segment elevation myocardial infarction admissions increase with high temperature. In this direction, it may be considered to organise the pre-hospital system accordingly for fast and effective access to ST segment elevation myocardial infarction cases that will increase in hot weather.
