Description
Maria Elisabeth Leinweber and Amun Georg Hofmann examine, in a 2026 study, whether Austria's vascular emergencies follow the seasons. Heart attack and stroke are known to vary by season, but evidence for other vessel events is thin. The authors drew on hospital admission records from 2009 to 2023, a span of fifteen years.
They tracked lung clots, aortic tears, vein clots, sudden limb blood loss, and burst belly aneurysms. Lung clots and aortic tears swung most, peaking in winter and dipping in summer. Vein clots moved in the same way, while the other two events varied less. Admissions also fell sharply on weekends, by more than half for several events. Daylight saving days showed small effects once compared with other Sundays. The authors urge local study of causes such as air pollution and care access.
