View Full Paper
ELEun Kyung LeeMCMegan B. Cole

Key Points

  • To evaluate how climate vulnerability affects the healthcare utilization for cardiometabolic diseases in children.
  • Cross-sectional design
  • Evaluated pediatric patients in New York State
  • Analyzed association with Climate Vulnerability Index quartiles
  • Higher climate vulnerability quartiles are associated with increased outpatient care utilization for cardiometabolic diseases.
  • Increased emergency department visits for cardiometabolic conditions correlate with higher climate vulnerability.
  • Impacts suggest a need for targeted health interventions in vulnerable communities.

Abstract

This cross-sectional study evaluates the association of Climate Vulnerability Index quartiles with outpatient care and emergency department utilization for cardiometabolic diseases among pediatric patients in New York State.
