Relative risks (RR) associated with temperature and persistent extreme temperatures in cause-specific groups and age strata adjusted for potential confounding, calendar patterns, seasonality and long-term time trends.
| Estimated simultaneously in summer model | Estimated simultaneously in winter model | |||
| RR associated with a 1°C increase in minimum apparent temperature (lag 0–1) | RR associated with day number in sequence of persistent extreme hot temperature | RR associated with a 1°C decrease in minimum apparent temperature (lag 0–1) | RR associated with day number in sequence of persistent extreme cold temperature | |
