Overview

Correlations of HFMD with moderate temperature and rainfall support enhanced surveillance; leaves open causal roles and prospective validation before guiding control.

Structured PICO

P
Population
497,910 cases of Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Jiangsu Province, China, during 2009-2013, 87.7% under 5 years old, male-to-female incidence ratio 1.4.
O
Outcome
Incidence of HFMD, spatiotemporal clusters, and correlation with meteorological factors

The prevalence of HFMD in Jiangsu Province exhibits strong seasonality and is positively correlated with average temperature and rainfall, while extreme temperatures restrain transmission.
