“…Rodrigues et al 34 found that the highest rates of hospitalization for asthma among elderly people in the Brazilian Amazon has occurred in the drought season, which is in disagreement with the Valença et al 14 We conclude that the hospitalizations of children for asthma are more frequent in the months of more intense rainfall, with greater magnitude in the states that comprise the "arc of deforestation" in the Brazilian Amazon, especially Rondônia and Maranhão.…”

Objective: To analyze the distribution of hospitalizations of children for asthma in the states comprising the Brazilian Amazon, as well as the variations of hospitalization according to climatic seasonality. Methods:A descriptive study of the distribution of hospitalizations for asthma of individuals aged 0 to 14 years living in the Brazilian Amazon, according to trend, spatial distribution, and climatic seasonality over the period from 2001 to 2007. We used the database of authorizations for hospitalizations (AIH) of the Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Results:The spatial distribution of hospitalizations for asthma resembles the configuration of the "arc of deforestation," mainly in the states of Rondônia and Maranhão. The distribution of annual hospitalizations for asthma decreased from 8.1 to 2.6 hospitalizations/1,000 inhabitants during the period. There was a peak of hospitalizations in March and May in all states. The seasonal differences were on average 10%, with the highest rates during the rainy season. Conclusion:We concluded that hospitalizations for asthma are more frequent in the months of more intense rainfall, with greater magnitude in the states comprising the "arc of deforestation" in the Brazilian Amazon, especially Rondônia and Maranhão.

“…4,12 A time series analysis study carried out in the city of Piracicaba, SP, Southeastern Brazil, in 1997 and 1998 quantifi ed daily hospital admissions for RD in children, adolescents and elderly aged > 65. 4 There was a 32.05 increase in the number of hospitalizations for RD in children and adolescents, associated with interquartile variation of PM 10 Cases requiring hospitalization are at higher risk than those which require medical consultation in the primary care network. In this study, it was not possible to conduct a survey of outpatient care, which impedes evaluation of the risks which pollution from PM 2.5 may present for respiratory disease requiring less complex levels of care.…”

“…Although evidence exists demonstrating the risks posed by smoke from burning tropical forests on the health of the exposed population groups, the few epidemiological studies which have been carried out in this region are very recent. 10 This study aimed to analyze the effects of exposure to fi ne particles from burning biomass on hospitalizations for respiratory disease in children and the elderly.…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects of exposure to fi ne particulate matter from burning on hospital admissions due to respiratory diseases in children and the elderly. METHODS:This is an ecological time series study that took place in the city of Cuiaba, Mato Grosso, in Brazil's Amazon Region, in 2005. Information on the daily levels of fi ne particulate matter PM 2.5 was made available by the Brazilian National Institute for Spatial Research. The model included variables related to temperature, relative humidity and adjusts for seasonality and calendar effects. Poisson regression with generalized additive models was used. RESULTS:A 10 μg/m 3 increase in the level of exposure to PM 2.5 was associated with increases of 9.1%, 9.2% and 12.1% in hospital admissions due to respiratory diseases in children for moving averages of 1, 2 and 5 days, respectively. For the dry season, the level of exposure to particulate matter was associated with increases of 11.4%, 21.6% and 22.0% in hospital admissions in children for moving averages of 1, 5 and 6 days, respectively. No signifi cant link was noticed in the elderly. CONCLUSIONS:The results show the infl uence of PM 2.5 on hospitalizations for respiratory disease in children under 5 in the region studied.

“…Rodrigues et al 34 verificaram que as maiores taxas de hospitalização por asma em idosos na Amazônia brasileira têm ocorrido no período de seca, contrapondo-se ao estudo de Valença et al 14 . Alguns fatores inerentes à população idosa podem explicar esse achado.…”

ResumoObjetivo: Analisar a distribuição das internações hospitalares por asma em crianças nos estados que compõem a Amazônia brasileira e as variações das internações segundo a sazonalidade climática. Resultados: A distribuição espacial das hospitalizações por asma assemelha-se à configuração do arco do desmatamento, com destaque para os estados de Maranhão e Rondônia. As hospitalizações anuais por asma decresceram de 8,1 para 2,6 internações por mil habitantes no decorrer do período estudado. Verifica-se um pico de internações nos meses de março e maio em todos os estados. As diferenças sazonais alcançaram em média 10% do conjunto das unidades da federação, com as maiores taxas no período chuvoso. Métodos Conclusão:Conclui-se que as hospitalizações por asma em crianças são mais frequentes nos meses chuvosos, com maior magnitude nos estados que compõem o arco do desmatamento da Amazônia brasileira, especialmente Rondônia e Maranhão.
