BACKGROUND: We estimated the effects of rainfall and temperature on the number of non-cholera diarrhoea cases and identified population factors potentially affecting vulnerability to the effect of the climate factors in Dhaka, Bangladesh. METHODS: Weekly rainfall, temperature and number of hospital ...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of cholera in Bangladesh shows clear seasonality, suggesting that weather factors could play a role in its epidemiology. We estimated the effects of rainfall on the incidence of cholera in Dhaka, Bangladesh. METHODS: We examined time-series patterns of the weekly number of ...

Dhaka is one of the world's densely populated cities and faces significant public health challenges including high burden of diarrhoeal diseases. Climate change is intensifying existing environmental problems including urban heat island effect and poor water quality. While numerous epidemiological s...

Introduction: While numerous studies have assessed the association of diarrhea with temperature, few have addressed the relationship between within-day variation of temperature and diarrhea. Materials and methods: We investigated the association between diurnal temperature range (DTR) and daily coun...

While numerous studies have assessed the association between temperature and diarrhoea in various locations, evidence of relationship between heat wave and diarrhoea is scarce. We defined elevated daily mean and maximum temperature over the 95th and 99th percentiles lasting for at least one day betw...

Heat index (HI) is a biometeorological indicator that combines temperature and relative humidity. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the Heat Index and daily counts of diarrhoea hospitalisation in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Data on daily diarrhoea hospitalisations and meteorological va...

Abstract Dhaka is one of the world’s densely populated cities and faces significant public health challenges including high burden of diarrhoeal diseases. Climate change is intensifying existing environmental problems including urban heat island effect and poor water quality. While numerous epidemio...

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence is rising and while heat-AKI associations are established, the demographic and clinical groups most vulnerable remain unclear. Identifying these groups is essential for kidney-specific heatwave guidance. Methods: A total of 947 342 AKI alerts in Englan...

Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical global health issue, with an estimated incidence of 21% in adults and 33% in children during hospital episodes. In England, AKI incidence is rising, with approximately 13,000 cases per million population annually with mortality rea...

ISEE-108 Introduction: Global climate change is likely to have a significant impact on human health, with direct and indirect influences. In particular, changes of rainfall patterns may result in an increased incidence of diarrhoeal diseases. Little epidemiological research, however, has addressed t...
