Abstract: Objective To explore the association between the concentrations of fine particulate matter(PM2.5),inhalable particulate matter(PM10),sulfur dioxide(SO2),carbon monoxide(CO),nitrogen dioxide(NO2) and ozone 8 h(O3-8h) in Hefei and the risk of hospital admission in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Methods The admission data(gender,age,the days of hospitalization,and hospitalization costs) of 3 475 ACS patients who were admitted to agrade-A tertiary hospital in Hefei City and air pollutant indicators were collected from March 2015 to December 2021. The Spearman method was used to analyze their correlation. Results The number of admissions of ACS patients was positively correlated with PM10 and NO2(all P<0.05).The days of hospitalization were positively correlated with CO(P<0.05). The hospitalization costs were positively correlated with PM10 and SO2(all P<0.05). The number of admissions of male patients was positively correlated with PM10,PM2.5,SO2 and NO2 in autumn(all P<0.05).The number of admissions of male patients was positively correlated with PM10,SO2 and NO2 in winter(all P<0.05). Conclusion The PM10 and NO2 are the most important pollutants that increase the admission risk of ACS patients in Hefei City,males are potentially susceptible in autumn and winter,and air pollution can both increase the per capita hospitalization burden and the overall hospitalization burden of ACS patients.
