Abstract:

This study evaluated the role of temperature and fine particulate matter in hospitalizations of children living in Cuiabá, MT, obtainedDATASUS, between 01/01/2016 and 12/31/2018. Daily concentrations of the fine particulate matter pollutant were estimated by the CAMS mathematical model, provided by CPTEC. Diagnoses of tracheitis and laryngitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, bronchiolitis and asthma were included. INMET provided data on maximum and minimum temperatures and relative humidity. Statistical analysis was performed with three generalized additive Poisson regression models, one of them with only the minimum temperature, another including the pollutant and the last one with an interaction variable. There were 1612 admissions; in the multivariate model, associations were identified between minimum temperature and hospitalizations in lags 1 to 5; the effect of increasing the minimum temperature by 4°C was reflected in an increase in the risk of hospitalizations by 18%; 15.2% of admissions are attributed to this increase and an excess of  US $ 68,000.00 in health system expenditures during the period evaluated. In addition to the known effects of exposure to pollutants on health, it was possible to identify that an increase in the minimum daily temperature can cause harm to the child\'s health.
