Preterm and early-term delivery after heat waves in eight US states: A case-crossover study using the High-resolution Urban Meteorology for Impacts Dataset (HUMID)
Using fine-scale surface temperature data capturing urban-heat islands, we observed a modest acute overall effect of heat waves on preterm and early-term birth. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP15953.
