Background: The negative impacts of environmental factors on allergic respiratory diseases (ARD) in children have gotten a lot of attention recently. However, the influence of climatic conditions, especially extreme temperatures, on childhood ARD induced by house dust mites (HDM-ARD) is uncertain. Objective: We aimed to quantify the associations between outpatient visits for HDM-ARD and extreme temperatures in Shanghai, China. Methods: A distributed lag nonlinear model combined with Quasi-Poisson generalized linear model was used to analyze data. Results: Daily mean temperature was significantly associated with outpatient visits for childhood ARD and HDM-ARD. Exposure to extreme temperatures increased the cumulative relative risks of outpatient visits for ARD and HDM-ARD in children (RRlag0-28 for the 5th percentile of Tmean: 2.97, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25, 7.06; RRlag0-28 for the 95th percentile of Tmean: 2.85, 95% CI: 1.03, 7.86). Boys were vulnerable to extreme lower temperature, while girls were more sensitive to extreme higher temperature in both ARD and HDM-ARD. The effect seemed to be most pronounced among 6-11 years of age school children. Conclusion: Our study presents quantitative evidence that extreme temperatures prompted outpatient visits for children with ARD, especially HDM-ARD, in Shanghai, China. These findings might have significant consequences for developing appropriate preventive measures for vulnerable populations.
