Newscasting from Jordan: Short-Term Exposure to Air Pollutants Linked to Incidence of Stroke
There is a significant association between short-term exposure to air pollutants and the incidence and mortality rate of stroke, according to a review published online Sept. 27 in Neurology.
Ahmad Toubasi, M.D., and Thuraya N. Al-Sayegh, M.D., from the University of Jordan in Amman, conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the correlation between short-term exposure to air pollutants and stroke. A total of 110 observational studies, with 18,035,408 cases of ischemic stroke, were included in the analysis. Short-term exposure was defined as exposure within five days of stroke onset.
