Abstract

Objectives: To characterize asthma cases and identify the impacts of meteorological factors on the occurrence of hospitalizations for asthma in children in the city of Campina Grande-PB. Methods: For the statistical analysis of the data, the negative binomial model was adjusted, adopting a significance level of 5%, based on the statistical platform R. Results: It is assumed that an increase of 81% occurs in cases of asthma with an increase in the average temperature, similarly increasing about 27% of these cases with an increase in the maximum temperature, in relation to the minimum temperature, it is expected that there is a 26% decrease in asthma cases due to the increase in asthma. A decrease of 3% in hospitalizations is also estimated as the relative humidity of the air increases. Conclusion: Considering the influence of climatic variables on health in the occurrence of hospitalizations for asthma, it becomes possible to plan actions and implement preventive measures.
