Ambient air pollution and visit of asthma patients: case study in DKI Jakarta 2017

Abstract

Asthma is a worldwide disease that affects all races, ages, and genders. In 2017, asthma attacked 300 million people in the world. One risk factor for asthma is air pollution. The design of this study is a time-stratified case crossover, with secondary data types consisting of asthma visit data (ICD-10: J45) and pollutant data (PM10, O3, and NOx) in DKI Jakarta in 2017. The results from this study: Ozone exposure lag day 3 p = 0.04, OR = 1.0016 (95% CI 1,0001-1.003) and lag day 1 of NOx exposure p = 0.04, OR = 1.0050 (95% CI 1, 0003-1,010) which influences the visit of asthma patients in DKI Jakarta. It can be concluded that ozone and NOx are associated with asthma patient visits in DKI Jakarta, and this study on PM10 pollutants did not show any relationship with patient visits due to Asthma in DKI Jakarta.
