Description
Summary:Purpose: We aimed to investigate the relationship between air pollution, temperature and COPD attacks in two different centers. Materials and methods: Two centers, Bandirma and Van, were included in the study. In addition, temperature grouping was also done. Air pollution and temperature values were obtained from official sites. COPD data were scanned retrospectively from hospital information management systems. Results: In the first 3 months (Group 1) included in the study, the PM10 value, the number of COPD treatment in the emergency department (ED) and the number of COPD hospitalizations in the ED were also found to be high In Van (p=0.05, p=0.05 and p=0.034, respectively). In the last 3 months (Group 2) period included in the study, it was observed that the mean temperature was lower in Van, and the rate of hospitalizations and hospitalizations due to COPD were higher In Van (p=0.05, p=0.05, and p=0.05, respectively). In the correlation analysis, a strong positive correlation was found between PM10 value and COPD treatment and hospitalization for COPD in Group 1 (r;0.986, p
