A scoping observational studies carried out between years 2000 2024, synthesized information climate-sensitive outcomes: severe events, illnesses. This analysis was based data from PubMed, Scopus, Web Science Cochrane Library, where appropriate, utilizing meta-extraction Meta-analysis techniques. total 3077 were screened, 96 articles included analysis, highlighting significant risks posed by change. Key areas concern identified include cardiovascular conditions, food- water-borne illnesses, effects.

Receiver Operating Characteristics analyses were performed predictive indicators (mild, moderate, severe, extremely severe thresholds symptoms) detecting ascertain optimal scores. Area Under Curve was acceptable moderate across all analyses. Across symptom severity markers distress, based consideration balancing sensitivity specificity, results consistently suggested cut-score 21 indicative mild-moderate with score 23 indicating severe-extremely proposed cut-offs can feasibly Use these inform as well guide screening, assessment, practice.
