RELATION BETWEEN THE FREQUENCY OF ALCOHOLIC PSYCHOSIS PATIENT HOSPITALIZATION AND AIR TEMPERATURE
We analyzed the dynamics and the relation between the number of hospitalizations of alcoholic psychosis patients (ICD-10 F10.4, F10.5) with temperature and seasonal variables in the city of Arkhangelsk (Russia) using the methods of autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), Ratiosto- Moving Averages Classical Seasonal Decomposition (Census Method I), and dummy variables. We found a statistically significant relation between the hospitalizations and seasonal variables. No relation with air temperature has been revealed.
