Weather as a trigger of stroke. Daily meteorological factors and incidence of stroke subtypes

Abstract

The conclusions of previous studies show little agreement concerning the relationship between weather and the incidence of stroke. We analyse the relationship between daily meteorological conditions and daily as well as seasonal stroke incidence. 1,286 consecutive strokes assessed during 3 years (2001-2003) from the reference area of Hospital del Mar were classified as intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) (n = 243) or ischaemic stroke (IS) (n = 1,043). IS was divided in non-lacunar stroke (NLS) (n = 732) and lacunar stroke (LS) (n = 311). Daily meteorological data were obtained from 'Observatori Fabra' of Barcelona: atmospheric pressure (AP), relative humidity, maximum, minimum, and mean temperatures, and the variation of all these measures compared with the previous day. Total stroke (TS) incidence showed little association with AP (coefficient of confidence, CC: -0.072; p = 0.022), but was higher with the AP variations (CC: 0.127; p < 0.001). NLS were related to AP falls (OR: 2.41; p < 0.001) whilst ICHs were associated with AP rises (OR: 2.07; p = 0.01). NLS and temperature showed an inverse correlation; however, it lost its significance after adjusting for AP variations. The daily incidences of NLS and ICH were higher in autumn ...Continue Reading
