摘要

Background: The influence of model specification on risk estimates from time-series studies of air pollution is an important issue. Recent studies reported that ozone risk estimates are sensitive to the extent of adjustment for seasonal/temporal trends, but they have not identified the appropriate amount of adjustment. Aims: To identify the extent of temporal adjustment required to control for influenza epidemics and to characterize the sensitivity of fine particle (PM2.5) and gaseous pollutant mortality risk estimates to alternative model specifications. Methods: We characterized the effect of influenza epidemics on air pollution-mortality risk estimates for 33 U.S. cities with year-round PM2.5, ozone, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide (CO) data for 2001-2006. Residuals from Poisson models were examined that considered 3 to 12 degrees of freedom per year (df/yr) to fit temporal trends with natural splines. Excess mortality risk was calculated for an interquartile range increase in the average of 0- and 1-day lags for all pollutants for all-year, warm (April-September) and cold (October-March) seasons by varying the extent of temporal adjustment in three models with alternative weather specifications similar to those used in previous multi-city studies. Results: Influenza peaks were not adequately fitted with small temporal adjustment, such as 3 df/yr, as reflected in residual diagnosis. The impact of the extent of temporal adjustment on estimated excess mortality risks for pollutants varied across the alternative weather models and by seasonal subsets. The risk estimates for CO and NO2 were particularly sensitive to alternative weather model specifications. Conclusions: In multi-city mortality time-series studies that include large cities where influenza peaks are prominent, small df/yr for temporal adjustment is not recommended. Therefore, sensitivity analyses should only be conducted for models that adequately control for temporal trends.
