He, C; Breitner-Busch, S; Huber, V; Chen, K; Zhang, S; Gasparrini, A; Bell, M; Kan, H; Royé, D; Armstrong, B; Schwartz, J; Sera, F; Vicedo-Cabrera, AM"Objective: To examine the associations between characteristics of daily rainfall (intensity, duration, and frequency) and all cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality. Design: Two stage time series analysis. Setting: 645 locations across 34 countries or regions. Population: Daily mortality data, comprising a total of 109 954 744 all cause, 31 164 161 cardiovascular, and 11 817 278 respiratory deaths fr...
Short term associations of ambient nitrogen dioxide with daily total, cardiovas...
Meng, X; Liu, C; Chen, R; Sera, F; Vicedo-Cabrera, AM; Milojevic, A; Guo, Y; Tong, S; Coelho, MSZS; Saldiva, PHN; Lavigne, E; Correa, PM; Ortega, NVObjective To evaluate the short term associations between nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and total, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality across multiple countries/regions worldwide, using a uniform analytical protocol. Design Two stage, time series approach, with overdispersed generalised linear models and multilevel meta-analysis. Setting 398 cities in 22 low to high income countries/regions.

Geographical Variations of the Minimum Mortality Temperature at a Global Scale:...
Tobías, A; Hashizume, M; Honda Y; Sera, F; Ng, CFS; Kim, Y; Roye, D; Chung, Y; Dang, TN; Kim, H; Lee, W; Íñiguez, C; Vicedo-Cabrera, A; Abrutzky, RBackground: Minimum mortality temperature (MMT) is an important indicator to assess the temperature-mortality association, indicating long-term adaptation to local climate. Limited evidence about the geographical variability of the MMT is available at a global scale. Methods: We collected data from 658 communities in 43 countries under different climates. We estimated temperature-mortality associations to deriv...
Predicted temperature-increase-induced global health burden and its regional va...
Lee, JY; Kim, H; Gasparrini, A; Armstrong, B; Bell, ML; Sera, F; Lavigne, E; Abrutzky, R; Tong, S; Coelho, MSZS; Saldiva, PHN; Correa, PM; Ortega, NVAn increase in the global health burden of temperature was projected for 459 locations in 28 countries worldwide under four representative concentration pathway scenarios until 2099. We determined that the amount of temperature increase for each 100 ppm increase in global CO2 concentrations is nearly constant, regardless of climate scenarios. The overall average temperature increase during 2010–2099 is largest ...
