Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for renal admissions and daily temperature stratified by age (<65 and 65+ years). Graphs for incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for daily admissions for renal diseases and associated 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) in relation to daily temperature, per 1°C, during the warm season (October – March) in Adelaide from 1 July 2003 to 31 March 2014. Results are shown for those <65 (<65) and ≥65 (65+) years. Graphs (a), (c) and (e) represent emergency department (ED) admissions, and graphs (b), (d) and (f) represent inpatient admissions. The temperature measures shown are maximum ((a) and (b)), minimum ((c) and (d)) and average ((e) and (f)). The renal categories are: total renal disease (Total); urolithiasis (Uro); renal failure (RF); acute kidney injury (AKI); chronic kidney disease (CKD); urinary tract infections (UTI); lower urinary tract infections (LUTI); pyelonephritis (Pyelo)
