The relation of gestation length to short-term heat stress
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the association between gestation length and heat exposure during the summer months of the Chicago heat wave of 1995. METHODS: Birth data from Illinois vital records containing 11,792 singleton vaginal births were analyzed to calculate mean gestational ages. RESULTS: No evidence was found to suggest an association between shortened gestation and increased maximum apparent temperature. CONCLUSIONS: The data propose …
Mortality in Chicago attributed to the July 1995 heat wave
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed mortality associated with the mid-July 1995 heat wave in Chicago. METHODS: Analyses focused on heat-related deaths, as designated by the medical examiner, and on the number of excess deaths. RESULTS: In July 1995, there were 514 heat-related deaths and 696 excess deaths. People 65 years of age or older were overrepresented and Hispanic people underrepresented. During the most intense heat (July 14 through 20), ther…
Patterns of breast and cervical cancer screening at three public health centers in an inner-city urban area
In an effort to examine breast and cervical cancer screening patterns among poor African-American urban women, medical records were abstracted at three public health centers located in the inner city of Chicago. The proportions of eligible women at these three centers who received Pap smears, breast examinations, and mammograms were computed. These proportions were notably low and differed significantly among the three centers. Because the litera…
