Air quality and seasonal variations in consultations for respiratory, allergic, dermatological and gastrointestinal diseases in Bahrain, 2007/Qualite de l'air et variations saisonnieres dans des consultations pour des maladies respiratoires, allergiques, dermatologiques et gastrointestinales a Bahrein en 2007

Environmental health data in Bahrain are scarce. This study in 4 governorates of Bahrain aimed to establish baseline data on the seasonal prevalence of certain disease groups that are sensitive to climate (respiratory, allergic, dermatological and non-specific gastrointestinal diseases) over a 1-yea...

description Environmental health data in Bahrain are scarce. This study in 4 governorates of Bahrain aimed to establish baseline data on the seasonal prevalence of certain disease groups that are sensitive to climate (respiratory, allergic, dermatological and non-specific gastrointestinal diseases) over a 1-year period and to record local climate and air pollutant data for the same year. A 5% sample of medical records for those who attended primary health-care centres during 2007 was taken. Visit rates for all 4 diseases had peaks, in spring and in autumn, with the lowest rates in the summer season when the average temperatures were highest and average humidity was lower. Respiratory-related visits were highest when the air concentrations of S[O.sub.2] were highest. An ongoing surveillance system for climate-sensitive diseases should be initiated to monitor and relate health and environmental trends. Les donnees sur la salubrite de l'environnement sont rares a Bahrein. La presente etude menee dans quatre gouvernorats de Bahrein visait a recueillir des donnees initiales sur la prevalence saisonniere de certains groupes de maladies qui sont sensibles au climat (maladies respiratoires, allergiques, dermatologiques et troubles gastrointestinaux non specifiques) sur une periode d'un an et a enregistrer les donnees sur le climat local et les polluants atmospheriques pour la meme annee. Un echantillon de 5 % des dossiers medicaux des patients ayant consulte dans des centres de soins de sante primaires en 2007 a ete selectionne. Les frequences de consultation pour les quatre groupes de maladies avaient des pics, au printemps et en automne, et des creux pendant la saison d'ete, lorsque les temperatures moyennes etaint les plus elevees et que le taux d'humidite etait le plus faible. Les consultations pour un motif respiratoire etaient plus nombreuses lorsque la concentration atmospherique en dioxyde de soufre etait la plus elevee. Un systeme de surveillance permanent pour les maladies sensibles au climat devrait etre instaure pour surveiller et correler les tendances sanitaires et environnementales.
