Abstract
Introduction. There is very little literature data on the correlation between
the seasons, temperature and atmospheric pressure, and pathogenesis of acute
appendicitis (AA). Objective. The aim of this research is to investigate the
association between the seasons, changes in atmospheric temperature and
pressure, and patients’ age and severity of the clinical form of AA in the
city of Niš. Methods. This study included 395 patients diagnosed with AA,
who, during the two-year period, from July 1st 2011 to June 30th 2013, were
hospitalized and operated on at the Department of General Surgery, Clinical
Center in Niš, Serbia. Results. The increased average daily values of
barometric pressure by 1 millibar on the day when the event took place was
associated (p < 0.05) with the decrease of total risk of the occurrence of
appendicitis by 2.2% (0.2-4.1%). In all observed patients, each increase of
the mean daily temperature by 1°C three days before the event took place (Lag
3) was associated (p < 0.05) with the increase of total risk of the
occurrence of appendicitis by 1.3% (0.1-2.5%). Conclusion. According to the
results of this research, we can conclude that patients’ sex, age and
severity of the clinical form of AA are not in connection with the seasons,
while there are certain connections between appendicitis occurrence and
atmospheric temperature and pressure.
