Impact of short-term air pollution exposure on premature rupture of membranes in the North China Plain, 2015–2021: a multicity case-crossover study
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: The effects of short-term air pollution exposure on hospital admissions for premature rupture of membranes (PROM) were still controversial. Methods: ), as well as composite air pollution indicators, including air quality index (AQI) and air quality composite index (AQCI). We further assessed the modifying effects of age (<35 and ≥35 years), season (cold and warm seasons), and the 'Three-Year Action Plan' (before and after implementation) on the above associations. Results: <0.05). Conclusions: Short-term air pollution exposure was related to elevated hospital risk of PROM. The effects were more pronounced among mothers aged <35 years and during the warm season.
