Heat, heatwaves, and ambulance service use: a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological evidence

International Journal of Biometeorology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 67(10), С. 1523 - 1542

Abstract Ambulance data has been reported to be a sensitive indicator of health service use during hot days, but there is no comprehensive summary the quantitative association between heat and ambulance dispatches. We conducted systematic review meta-analysis retrieve synthesise evidence published up 31 August 2022 about heat, prolonged (i.e. heatwaves), risk initially identified 3628 peer-reviewed papers included 48 which satisfied inclusion criteria. The meta-analyses showed that, for each 5 °C increase in mean temperature, dispatches all causes cardiovascular diseases increased by 7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 5%, 10%) 2% CI: 1%, 3%), respectively, not respiratory diseases. 6% 4%, 7%), 9%), 18% 12%, 23%) under low-intensity, severe, extreme heatwaves, respectively. observed two potential sources bias existing literature: (1) temperature exposure measurement; (2) ascertainment dispatch causes. This suggests that associated with an dispatches, dose-response relationship heatwave intensity For future studies assessing heat-ambulance association, we recommend using on spatially refined gridded either very well interpolated or derived from satellite imaging may alternative reduce measurement bias; linking hospital admission can useful improve outcome classification.

Applying recent advances in climate adaptation research to urban heat risk management

Abstract There is unequivocal evidence that anthropogenic climate change supercharging temperature and precipitation regimes globally. One of the clearest signals this seen in current projected increases extreme heat, understood as changes maximums, longer duration heatwaves, higher night‐time temperatures. Extreme heat has substantial impacts on socio‐ecological systems through direct human health labor productivity, crop yields water security; second‐order infrastructure functioning hazards (e.g., increased fire drought incidence). These are differentiated mediated by preexisting vulnerabilities based who you are, what do, where live, your capacities to prepare for, prevent, cope with adapt exposure. Nowhere these increasing more visible than populous, rapidly urbanizing regions. Governments across world piloting implementing management strategies, which variously called heat‐health plans, action resilience so forth. We argue such actions policy agendas can benefit from theoretical advances vulnerability adaptation literature. synthesize five highlight need for suites sequenced pathways sensitive trade‐offs, center equity a normative goal effective adaptation, acknowledge uncertainty differential vulnerabilities, leverage lessons participatory adpatation planning, forward‐looking preparatory actions. consolidate develop an approach inform urban risk management.
