摘要

Background

Climate change is considered the greatest health threat to humanity according to the World Health Organization. In Germany, it is increasingly leading to rising temperatures, heatwaves, and periods of drought. These consequences place a burden on human health, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. However, little is known about the influence of weather changes on hospital admissions for such cases in emergency departments.

Objective

To provide an overview of the structure and findings of studies on the admission of patients with cardiovascular and respiratory disease to emergency departments due to weather changes.

Methods

The systematic literature search was conducted using the PubMed database. To narrow the results, the publication year was limited to the last 10 years, and the language was restricted to German and English.

Results

The literature search yielded 97 results; 14 were included in this work. Increased admissions of cardiovascular and respiratory cases to emergency departments were shown for various weather conditions (e.g., extremely cold or hot temperatures). Older age groups, individuals with pre-existing conditions, and children under 5 years of age were particularly affected, with differences depending on the weather condition and disease type.

Conclusion

The impacts of extreme weather conditions are more apparent today than ever before. As climate change progresses, there is a growing need for more extensive and intensive research to study the effects on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and to implement effective prevention measures.
