    IMPACT OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE ON HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS FOR ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN THE CENTRAL COAST OF VIETNAM Dang Thi Anh Thu MD, MPH Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral Philosophy Queensland University of Technology School of Public Health and Social Work Faculty of Health 2018 Keywords Acute myocardial infarction, ambient temperature, cold spells, distributed lag non- linear model, generalised linear model, heat waves, cold spells, meteorological factors, morbidity, pre-hospital delay time, seasonality. Impact of ambient temperature on hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction in the central coast of Vietnam i Abstract Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major health problem worldwide and in Vietnam. In addition to the list of recognised genetic, behavioural and environmental risk factors for AMI, there is increasing concern about the ambient temperature effects associated with global climate change on cardiovascular diseases in general, and AMI in particular. Vietnam is one of the countries that has been forecast to suffer more disadvantageous weather and natural disasters due to human-induced global warming. However, very few studies on temperature-related health effects have been conducted in Vietnam. In particular, to date, no study has focused on possible links between air temperature extremes and AMI, one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in the country. The present study in the central coast region of Vietnam investigated ambient temperature
