The inclusion criteria were CIAP2 (International Classification of Primary Care, second edition) diagnostic codes, with ethical clearance from the Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda Hospital (PI 70\/24). This study adhered to Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines for observational reporting. Climatic data, including temperature, precipitation, wind speed, hours of sunlight, and barometric pressure, were obtained from (Agencia Estatal de Meteorolog\u00eda). Statistical analyses used ARIMAX (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average with eXternal regressors) and ETSX (Exponential Smoothing State Space Model with eXternal regressors) models, optimizing model fit through root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and mean absolute scaled error (MASE).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Significant associations were found between climate factors and referral rates.
