Abstract:

there are not studies exploring the potential role of weather conditions in the incidence of intracranial hemorrhages in Latin America.a descriptive study was carried out in an emergency room from Cartagena de Indias (Colombia). Data for all adult patients with intracranial hemorrhage and meteorological variables of the days when intracranial hemorrhages occurred were recorded and compared to with those where not a single case.the differences between the average temperature, maximum and minimum temperatures, barometric pressure, relative humidity and wind speed were non statistically significant. However, when comparing the temperature differences day of the event over the previous days, those met the pre-established criteria of statistical significance. Furthermore, differences in barometric pressure, relative humidity, maximum and minimum temperature over the previous day, also reached this criterion.the results of this study suggest the existence of a climatic profile associated with the onset of intracranial hemorrhages.
