| description | <div><p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Considering the high level of air pollution and its impact on health, we aimed to study the correlation of air pollution with hospitalization and mortality of cardiovascular (CVD) and respiratory diseases (ResD) (CAPACITY) to determine the effects of air pollutants on CVD and ResD hospitalizations and deaths in Isfahan, Iran.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> Hourly levels of air pollutants including particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>), sulfur dioxide (SO<sub>2</sub>), and ozone (O<sub>3</sub>), information of CVD and ResD admissions and death certificate were obtained respectively from Department of Environment (DOE), Iran, hospitals and cemetery. Time series and case-crossover model were used to find the impact of air pollutants. This paper only summarizes the descriptive findings of the CAPACITY study.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong><strong> </strong>The total number of hospitalized patients were 23781 in 2010 and 22485 in 2011. The most frequent cause of hospitalization and death was ischemic heart diseases in both years. While the mean annual levels of O<sub>3</sub>, CO, and PM<sub>10</sub> were lower in 2011 than in 2010, NO<sub>2</sub> and SO<sub>2</sub> levels higher in 2011. In both years, PM<sub>10</sub> was similarly increased during last month of fall, late spring and early summer. In 2011, the PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> monthly trend of change were similar.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The CAPACITY study is one of the few large-scale studies that evaluated the effects of air pollutants on a variety of CVD and ResD in a large city of Iran. This study can provide many findings that could clarify the effects of these pollutants on the incidence and burden of both disease groups.</p></div><p> </p> |
