Study Design The majority of published studies have used 2 comparable designs: time
series and case crossover. Time series refers to population or community studies during a …

Studies suggest that there is an association between weather patterns and ischemic stroke
risk. Exposure to a sudden decrease in temperature may increase stroke risk through …

Background: Despite consistent evidence of a higher short-term risk of cardiovascular
mortality associated with ambient temperature, there have been discrepant findings on the …

Biologically plausible associations exist between climatic conditions and stroke risk, but
study results are inconsistent. We aimed to summarize current evidence on ambient …

Background Some studies suggest low temperatures can affect mortality, especially deaths
associated with circulatory and respiratory conditions. Methods We investigated the …

Objective To examine whether high ambient temperature and diurnal temperature range
during the summer are associated with risk of stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods …

Background and Purpose: The relationship between stroke and short-term temperature
changes remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta …

The understanding of the role of environment on the pathogenesis of stroke is gaining
importance in the context of climate change. This study analyzes the temporal pattern of …

An influence of climate upon cerebrovascular risk is both biologically plausible and
supported by epidemiological evidence. These relationships are important as they could …

OBJECTIVE: Results of investigations into the impact of seasonal variation on the incidence
of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have been inconsistent. Using the WHO Collaborative …
