When the relationship to the atmospheric pressure was examined in these cases, it was foud that there were of mild cases when the atmospheric pressure was low while there were more of severe cases when it was high. Therefore, the multivariate analysis was performed for atmospheric pressure, seasons, number of days from the onset of appendicitis to the operation, age, sex, etc. which may be related to the onset of appendicitis. The results showed that the atmospheric pressure was the strongest contributing factor for the severity of appendicitis. As Lingaas, et al. reported in 1987 that the atmospheric pressure influenced the activities of phagocytosis and opsonization by white blood cells, this study has suggested that the atmospheric pressure may be involved in the severity of appendicitis.}, pages = {74--77}, title = {気圧と虫垂炎 : 気圧が虫垂炎に及ぼす影響について}, volume = {109}, year = {1995} }
