Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS MR0xQ4Z2. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The authors used a case-crossover approach to evaluate the association between ambient air pollution and the rate of hospitalization for congestive heart failure among Medicare recipients (aged>65 years) residing in Allegheny County (Pittsburgh area), Pennsylvania, during 1987-1999. They also explored effect modification by age, gender, and specific secondary diagnoses. During follow-up, 55,019 patients were admitted with a primary diagnosis of congestive heart failure. In single-pollutant models, particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of |
