Journal ArticleDOI

Michela Baccini,Annibale Biggeri,Gabriele Accetta,Tom Kosatsky,Klea Katsouyanni,Antonis Analitis,H. Ross Anderson,Luigi Bisanti,Daniela D’Ippoliti,Jana Danova,Bertil Forsberg,Sylvia Medina,Anna Páldy,Daniel Rabczenko,Christian Schindler,Paola Michelozzi +15 more
TL;DR: There is an important mortality effect of heat across Europe from June through August; it is limited to the first week following temperature excess, with evidence of mortality displacement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute effects of particulate air pollution on respiratory admissions - Results from APHEA 2 project
Richard Atkinson,H. R. Anderson,Jordi Sunyer,Jon G Ayres,Michela Baccini,Judith M. Vonk,Azedine Boumghar,Francesco Forastiere,Bertil Forsberg,Giota Touloumi,Joel Schwartz,Klea Katsouyanni +11 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that particle concentrations in European cities are positively associated with increased numbers of admissions for respiratory diseases and that some of the variation in PM(10) effect estimates between cities can be explained by city characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Cold Weather on Mortality: Results From 15 European Cities Within the PHEWE Project
Antonis Analitis,Klea Katsouyanni,Annibale Biggeri,Michela Baccini,Bertil Forsberg,Luigi Bisanti,Ursula Kirchmayer,Ferran Ballester,Ennio Cadum,Patrick J. Goodman,Ana Hojs,Jordi Sunyer,Pekka Tiittanen,Paola Michelozzi +13 more
TL;DR: The cold effect was found to be greater in warmer (southern) cities and persisted up to 23 days, with no evidence of mortality displacement.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Temperature and Hospitalizations for Cardiovascular and Respiratory Causes in 12 European Cities
Paola Michelozzi,Gabriele Accetta,Manuela De Sario,Daniela D’Ippoliti,Claudia Marino,Michela Baccini,Annibale Biggeri,H. Ross Anderson,Klea Katsouyanni,Ferran Ballester,Luigi Bisanti,Ennio Cadum,Bertil Forsberg,Francesco Forastiere,Patrick Goodman,Ana Hojs,Ursula Kirchmayer,Sylvia Medina,Anna Páldy,Christian Schindler,Jordi Sunyer,Carlo A. Perucci +21 more
TL;DR: High temperatures have a specific impact on respiratory admissions, particularly in the elderly population, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood, as well as global warming and progressive population aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of high temperatures on mortality: is there an added heat wave effect?
Shakoor Hajat,Ben Armstrong,Michela Baccini,Annibale Biggeri,Luigi Bisanti,Antonio Russo,Anna Páldy,Bettina Menne,Tom Kosatsky +8 more
TL;DR: Heat wave effects were apparent in simple time-series models but were reduced in multilag nonlinear models and small when compared with the overall summertime mortality burden of heat.
