Global, regional, and national burden of mortality associated with cold spells ...
Gao, Yuan; Huang, Wenzhong; Zhao, Qi; Ryti, Niilo; Armstrong, Ben; Gasparrini, Antonio; Tong, Shilu; Pascal, Mathilde; Urban, Aleš; Zeka, ArianaBackground: Exposure to cold spells is associated with mortality. However, little is known about the global mortality burden of cold spells. Methods: A three-stage meta-analytical method was used to estimate the global mortality burden associated with cold spells by means of a time series dataset of 1960 locations across 59 countries (or regions). First, we fitted the location-specific, cold spell-related morta...

Huang, Wenzhong; Li, Shanshan; Vogt, Thomas; Xu, Rongbin; Tong, Shilu; Molina, Tomás; Masselot, Pierre; Gasparrini, Antonio; Armstrong, BenBackground: The global spatiotemporal pattern of mortality risk and burden attributable to tropical cyclones is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the global short-term mortality risk and burden associated with tropical cyclones from 1980 to 2019. Methods: The wind speed associated with cyclones from 1980 to 2019 was estimated globally through a parametric wind field model at a grid resolution of 0·5° × 0·5°. A tota...

Yang, Zhengyu; Huang, Wenzhong; McKenzie, Joanne E.; Xu, Rongbin; Yu, Pei; Ye, Tingting; Wen, Bo; Gasparrini, Antonio; Armstrong, Ben; Tong, ShiluObjective: To evaluate lag-response associations and effect modifications of exposure to floods with risks of all cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality on a global scale. Design: Time series study. Setting: 761 communities in 35 countries or territories with at least one flood event during the study period. Participants: Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative Research Network database, Australian Cau...
