TLDR
Most of the temperature-related mortality burden was attributable to the contribution of cold, and the effect of days of extreme temperature was substantially less than that attributable to milder but non-optimum weather.

- 05 Dec 2015 - 
TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor study 2013 (GBD 2013) as discussed by the authors provides a timely opportunity to update the comparative risk assessment with new data for exposure, relative risks, and evidence on the appropriate counterfactual risk distribution.

Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks, 1990–2015: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Mohammad H Forouzanfar, +653 more
TL;DR: The comparative risk assessment framework developed for previous iterations of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 was used to estimate attributable deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and trends in exposure by age group, sex, year, and geography for 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational risks or clusters of risks from 1990 to 2015.

Jeffrey D. Stanaway, +1053 more
- 10 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: This study estimated levels and trends in exposure, attributable deaths, and attributable disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) by age group, sex, year, and location for 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or groups of risks from 1990 to 2017 and explored the relationship between development and risk exposure.

Julian P T Higgins, +1 more
- 15 Jun 2002 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.

Relation between Elevated Ambient Temperature and Mortality: A Review of the Epidemiologic Evidence

Rupa Basu, +1 more
- 01 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: This review carried out this review to assess the current epidemiologic evidence available for this purpose and concluded that as the US population becomes more urbanized and the number of elderly people continues to increase, the threat of heat-related mortality will probably become more severe.
