The effects of smoke-free legislation on acute myocardial infarction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Hualiang Lin, +5 more
- 31 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: Smoke-free legislations in public and work places were associated with significant reduction in acute MI risk, which might be partly attributable to reduced smoking prevalence.

Short-term effect of El Niño-Southern Oscillation on pediatric hand, foot and mouth disease in Shenzhen, China

Hualiang Lin, +6 more
- 23 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: The extremely high SOI (SOI = 45, with 0 as reference) was associated with increased HFMD, with the relative risk (RR) being 1.66 (95% Confidence Interval: 1.34–2.04).

The Case-Crossover Design: A Method for Studying Transient Effects on the Risk of Acute Events

Malcolm Maclure
- 15 Jan 1991 - 
TL;DR: A case-control design involving only cases may be used when brief exposure causes a transient change in risk of a rare acute-onset disease and self-matching of cases eliminates the threat of control-selection bias and increases efficiency.

Increased Particulate Air Pollution and the Triggering of Myocardial Infarction

Annette Peters, +3 more
- 12 Jun 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a case-crossover approach was used to analyze the data for evidence of triggering, and the risk of acute myocardial infarction onset increased in association with elevated concentrations of fine particles in the previous 2-hour period.
