Introduction
Psychiatric emergency visits have been associated to several climate variables. However, the influence of relative humidity has been not well stablished.
Objectives
The analyse the influence of relative humidity on emergency care visits.
Methods
Daily urgency visits were extracted from electronic medical records of Hospital Universitario La Paz from 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2019. Relative humidity data (%) was obtained from a local climate station. A negative binomial multivariate regression model was performed with relative humidity, weekday and month as covariates.
Results
Relative humidity was not associated with number of psychiatric emergency department visits (IRR 1.00; 95%CI 0.99-1.00)
Conclusions
Relative humidity did not influence emergency help seeking for patients suffering from suicidal phenomena
Disclosure
No significant relationships.
