Influence of Seasonal Changes on Emergency Transports for Vertigo/Dizziness: A Study Based on Emergency Triage and Weather Factors
Although no apparent seasonality was observed in the monthly number of V/D-related emergency transports, the emergency triage level increased from the rainy season to early autumn. The monthly number of V/D cases transported by emergency services was significantly associated with average temperature, precipitation, humidity, and vapor pressure. These findings could inform public health policy and increase emergency preparedness.
