Heatwave events were defined as two or more successive days with daily maximum temperature \u226534\u00b0C (HWD1) or \u226537\u00b0C (HWD2).

The presentations significantly increased on heatwave days based on HWD1 (relative risk (RR)\u2009=\u20094.9, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.8, 6.3) and HWD2 (RR\u2009=\u200918.5, 95% CI: 12.0, 28.4). The RRs in different age groups ranged between 3\u20139.2 (HWD1) and 7.5\u201337.5 (HWD2). High acuity visits significantly increased based on HWD1 (RR\u2009=\u20094.7, 95% CI: 2.3, 9.6) and HWD2 (RR\u2009=\u200981.7, 95% CI: 21.5, 310.0).
