  • Dependent variable: sudden circulatory arrest incidence; offset variable: population size; covariates: week (pre-ban), week (post-ban 1), week (post-ban 2), mean temperature, mean temperature previous week; temperature range, mean PM10 concentration, influenza rate.

  • PM, particulate matter.
