Association entre pollution atmosphérique et infarctus du myocarde sur base de la méthode cas-croisé

The results of this study reinforce the evidence of the short-term effects of air pollution on acute myocardial infarction, especially during the warm season. This also suggests that the case-crossover method is a suitable tool in studying the association between acute events and air pollution. Controlling for potential environmental confounding effects is also feasible with this method.
