chronic bronchitis turned out consistent. The application of the Pearson analysis for
otoiatric diseases has showed a strong negative association (r=-0,81) between
number of admissions (x) and minimum temperature (y). The analysis on COPD,
related specially to PM10 and NO2 according with F Fisher test has showed in
accordance worldwide scientific literature. Preliminar statistical analysis on urolithiasis
has evidenced a moderate accordance (F Fischer) between maximum
temperature and number of admission in ER.
Conclusions
The clinical field experience and the surveys on patients suggest the preventive
efficacy of the thermal therapy, with treatment cycles to be performed 20-30 days
before the most likely breakthrough period. Such period depends on seasonal
weather and climate factors, as well as on the bioclimatological characteristics of
the city of residence. The model is built by identifying 1 or 2 optimal periods for
thermal treatment during.
