This study sought to assess the relationship between exposure to several gaseous pollutants and the hospitalizations for SS.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n The data regarding SS hospitalizations, gaseous pollutants, and meteorological factors in Hefei from 2016 to 2021 were collected. A distributed lag non-linear model combined with a generalized linear model were adopted to analyze the association between gaseous pollutants and SS hospitalizations, and stratified analyses were also conducted.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n We detected significant associations between gaseous pollutants (NO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n , SO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n , O\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n , CO) and SS hospitalizations. Exposure to NO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n was linked with the elevated risk of hospitalizations for SS (\n RR<\/jats:italic>\n =1.026, lag1 day). A positive correlation between CO exposure and hospitalizations for SS was found (\n RR<\/jats:italic>\n =1.144, lag2 day). In contrast, exposure to SO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n , O\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n was respectively related to the decreased risk of hospitalizations for SS (SO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n :\n RR<\/jats:italic>\n =0.897, lag14 day; O\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n :\n RR<\/jats:italic>\n =0.992, lag9 day). Stratified analyses found that female patients were more vulnerable to these gaseous pollutants. SS patients \u2265 65 years were more susceptible to NO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n , CO exposure, and younger patients were more vulnerable to O\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n exposure. In addition, exposure to O\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n , CO in cold season were more likely to affect hospitalizations for SS.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n \n Our results demonstrated a significant association between exposure to NO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n , CO and elevated risk of hospitalizations for SS, and SO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n , O\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n exposure might be linked to reduced risk of SS hospitalizations.\n <\/jats:p>\n
