Vaidyanathan, A., Gates, A., Brown, C., et al. (2024). Heat-Related Emergency Department Visits. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. 73(15):324-329.
The authors analyzed heat-related visits to 826 emergency departments (EDs) participating in the National Syndromic Surveillance Program from May through September 2023. They found that more males than females presented to EDs with heat-related illness, and Region 6 (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) experienced the highest rate of visits.
