Sažetak
Background and purpose: The aim of this study was to correlate obstetric admissions at a tertiary perinatal center with biometeorological forecast and weather conditions.
Materials and methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics Clinical Hospital “Sveti Duh” over five years, from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018. The hospital’s emergency data was used for record of obstetric admissions on each day. The selected days were sorted in 4 groups based on biometeorological forecast.
Results: In the observed period, there were a total of 18,072 obstetric admissions. There were 216 days with fifteen or more admissions. The results showed no significant difference between obstetric admission based on the biometeorological forecast one day before or three days before. Most hospitalization were on days with a favorable biometeorological forecast in the observed period, 68 days with more than fifteen admissions per day. The day before, the biometeorological forecast was mostly favorable or relatively favorable.
Conclusion: Our retrospective single-center study did not show a significant difference between obstetric hospital admissions depending on biometeorological conditions, but the higher number of admissions during days with a favorable forecast is definitely the basis for future studies with larger dataset.
