We aimed to quantify the association of ambient temperature with the risk of ICH in the Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Haemorrhage Trial (INTERACT2) participants on an hourly timescale.</p></sec><sec id="sec002"><title>Methods</title><p>INTERACT2 was an international, open, blinded endpoint, randomized controlled trial of patients with spontaneous ICH (<6h of onset) and elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP, 150–220 mmHg) assigned to intensive (target SBP <140 mmHg) or guideline-recommended (SBP <180 mmHg) BP treatment. We linked individual level hourly temperature to baseline data of 1997 participants, and performed case-crossover analyses using a distributed lag non-linear model with 24h lag period to assess the association of ambient temperature and risk of ICH. Results were presented as overall cumulative odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CI.</p></sec><sec id="sec003"><title>Results</title><p>Low ambient temperature (≤10°C) was associated with increased risks of ICH: overall cumulative OR was 1.37 (0.99–1.91) for 10°C, 1.92 (1.31–2.81) for 0°C, 3.13 (1.89–5.19) for -10°C, and 5.76 (2.30–14.42) for -20°C, as compared with a reference temperature of 20°C.There was no clear relation of low temperature beyond three hours after exposure. Results were consistent in sensitivity analyses.</p></sec><sec id="sec004"><title>Conclusions</title><p>Exposure to low ambient temperature within several hours increases the risk of ICH.</p></sec><sec id="sec005"><title>Trial Registration</title><p>ClinicalTrials.gov <ext-link ext-link-type="uri"

While marked seasonal and temporal patterns to the occurrence of ICH are recognised, with peak incidence in the winter and an association with cold temperature [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>], this information is primarily derived from daily meteorological data without consideration of ambient temperature close to the time of onset of ICH. Moreover, the time lag method, which has shown an association of ambient temperature with acute myocardial infarction [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>], has not been used in the study of ICH where influences on fluctuations in blood pressure (BP) appear especially important [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>]. Thus, the association of ambient temperature with ICH onset has not been well quantified on an hourly time-scale. Such information could help our understanding of the determinants of ICH in high risk populations that have marked seasonal and geographical trends in rates [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>], and guide public health strategies to optimize preventative strategies in winter.</p><p>The primary aim of this study was to quantify the transient increase in risk of ICH associated with declining ambient temperature at an hourly resolution. Secondary aims were to determine the time sequence of low temperature triggering effects on ICH occurrence and whether there is any variation in risks across several pre-defined patient characteristics.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec007"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec id="sec008"><title>Ethics Statement</title><p>The INTERACT 2 study protocol was approved by the ethics committees for each centers and written informed consent was obtained from all patients or relevant surrogates. A full list of centers that participated in the trial is shown in Acknowledgments. Patient records/information was anonymized and de-identified prior to analysis.</p></sec><sec id="sec009"><title>Study Design</title><p>We conducted post-hoc analysis using the baseline patient data from the second (main phase) Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Haemorrhage Trial (INTERACT2). The design and main results of INTERACT2 have been described elsewhere.[<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. In brief, INTERACT2 was an international, multicenter, open, blinded endpoint, randomized controlled trial [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]. A total of 2839 patients with CT-confirmed spontaneous ICH, elevated systolic BP (SBP, 150-220mmHg), and capacity to commence BP lowering treatment (<6h of onset assessed by ‘time last seen normal’), were enrolled from 144 hospitals in 21 countries between 7th October 2008 and 30<sup>th</sup> August 2012. Patients were excluded if they had a structural cerebral cause for the ICH, deep coma (defined as a score of 3–5 on the Glasgow coma scale [GCS] [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>], where scores range from 3 to 15, with lower scores indicating reduced levels of consciousness), massive hematoma with a poor prognosis, or if early surgery to evacuate the hematoma was planned. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive intensive (target SBP <140mmHg within 1h) or guideline recommended (SBP <180mmHg) BP treatment. In order to minimize assessor bias, the primary outcome of ‘death or major disability’ (as measured by the modified Rankin scale) at 90 days was evaluated by clinicians who were blind to the randomized treatment. The date of the final patient follow up was 31 December 2012.</p><p>We obtained hourly ambient temperature data primarily from Weatherbank Inc (Edmond, US) which directly sources weather observations from worldwide government agencies that represent the official source of data in different countries. Data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology was also used. For the main analyses, we linked baseline data of 1997 individual patients (70%) to hourly temperature data from monitoring stations less than 100km from the patients’ hospital of enrolment.</p></sec><sec id="sec010"><title>Statistical Analyses</title><p>Baseline characteristics of the included patients were compared to those excluded in models using chi-square or Wilcoxon rank sum tests. We applied a time-stratified, case-crossover analysis to the data with the preceding 24h period of the reported ICH onset time selected as the case period for each ICH event [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. Control periods of exposure were defined as the comparable 24h before the ICH in the other weeks of the same month and year. This method of selecting control periods has been shown to effectively control for time invariant confounders and seasonality, whilst also avoiding the problems of time trend and overlap bias associated with other methods of referent selection [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. Thus, each participant was represented with a matched set of data for 1 case period and 3–4 control periods.</p><p>We assessed the risk of ICH in a distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) which was originally developed to estimate the non-linear and delayed effects of temperature (or air pollution) on mortality or morbidity [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]. We applied recent developments in the method that extended DLNMs beyond time series data, and made it applicable in a case-crossover study design [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]. The DLNM involves a bi-dimensional space of functions that describes simultaneously the shape of the relationship along both the space of the predictor and the lag dimension of its occurrence. We modeled the exposure-response function with a natural cubic spline with internal knots placed at quartiles of ambient temperature and a reference temperature of 20°C (taken as the average optimal temperature of comfort for humans) [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>], and the lag-response function was modeled with a natural cubic spline with two equally spaced internal knots in log-scale. A bi-dimensional plot was constructed to demonstrate the entire relationship between temperature and ICH risk whilst also taking into account the time sequence of effect. Lag-response curves were plotted to describe the evolving temporal change in ICH risk in a 24 h lag period after exposure to specific temperatures in comparison to a reference optimal temperature of 20°C. Furthermore, the effect of temperature was summarized in an overall cumulative exposure-response figure which shows the net increased ICH risk over an entire lag period of 24 h in association with temperature exposure, accounting for any harvesting or lagged effects. Finally, our results were also presented as overall cumulative odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) that were computed by summation of the lag-specific risk contributions for a given pattern of temperature exposures during the 24 hours lag period. The statistical equation describing the DLNM model and derivation of the overall cumulative odds ratio is outlined elsewhere [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>].</p><p>In order to check the robustness of the study results, several sensitivity analyses were performed; by inclusion of all patients with known hourly temperature data within 200km of the site of enrolment, which totalled 2346 (83%); and by extending the maximum lag length from 24 to 72 h. All analyses were performed using SAS 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC) and R project for statistical computing V.3.1.0 using the ‘dlnm’ and ‘survival’ packages.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="results" id="sec011"><title>Results</title><p><xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0149040.t001">Table 1</xref> shows the baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with available ambient temperature data (‘included patients’, n = 1997) and those without such data (‘excluded patients’, n = 832).

Using distributed lag non-linear model fitted to a case-crossover model involving 1997 well-characterized ICH patients, we found a clear association of low ambient temperature with ICH occurrence within a few hours of exposure.</p><p>Several but not all studies have reported an association between low ambient temperature and ICH [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]. This discrepancy may be due to the use of daily temperature parameters that may not be truly representative of the temperature at the time of ICH onset. Furthermore, previous studies involved subjects from single regions, some of which have relatively small variations in temperature throughout the year. Our study using hourly temperature data in a large international study population corroborates the findings of a Taiwanese study with known hourly temperature data at ICH onset which showed a trend of increased ICH occurrence towards the lower temperature and is also consistent with prior investigations and clinical observation of a peak ICH occurrence in the winter due in part to the trigger effect of low ambient temperature on the risk of ICH onset at particular times of the day [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]. Mechanisms underlying the increased ICH risk in colder climate have not been resolved but exposure to low temperatures has been shown to stress the sympathetic nervous system leading to acute increases in heart rate, peripheral resistance, and thereby BP [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>]. Although acute increases in BP associated with exposure to low ambient temperature is the most plausible trigger of ICH, we were unable to find any correlation between admission SBP level and ambient temperature, nor any differences in risks between those with and without a history of hypertension. This could be because the admission systolic BP of participants may not be representative of their BP level close to the time of ICH onset, or that ICH patients with non-elevated BP were excluded from our study.</p><p>Previous studies have reported upon a temperature effect for up to 14 days for the occurrence of myocardial infarction [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]. However, our study results show no association of low temperature beyond several hours prior to ICH onset and this finding is further supported by sensitivity analysis with extended lag period of 72 h. The differences in these risk time periods may be attributable to the distinctions in pathological mechanisms of onset for myocardial infarction (being plaque rupture from atherothrombosis) and ICH (being mainly due to the rupture of small deep perforating intracerebral vessels).</p><p>Key strengths of this study include the large sample of a wide range of patients with early and rigorous standardised evaluations of clinical and imaging findings after acute ICH. Also we were able to attain reliable hourly temperature weather data and link this information to the baseline patient characteristics to conduct precise evaluations on the effects of low ambient temperature. Our case-crossover model with control periods stratified by calendar month inherently adjusted for potential confounders, such as slow time varying individual characteristics, time of the day, day of the week, and seasonality. Furthermore, we were also able to avoid problems of time trend and overlap bias associated with other methods of control selection [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>].</p><p>There are several limitations to our study. First, the study population is subject to varying levels of selection bias that may limit the generalizability of the results. Being a clinical trial population, patients with a poor prognosis due to massive hematoma or deep coma, and in whom early surgery was planned, were excluded. Therefore, future studies on a general ICH population are necessary to validate our findings. Another issue is that we were unable to obtain (≤100km) hourly temperature data for 30% of participants (‘excluded patients’), of which the majority were from second to third tier cities in China (Baotou, Xuzhou, Wenzhou and Xining). Differences in the provision of healthcare and medical development, and diet and lifestyles, may have resulted in significant differences in characteristics such as ‘time from onset to randomization’ and use of medications (e.g. antihypertensives and antithrombotics) and contribute to variability in severity of hospital presentation and prognosis, thus limiting the generalizability of our findings. However, sensitivity analyses that included approximated temperature of Baotou (83%) showed a slight increase in ICH risk in association with low temperature in comparison to the primary analyses. A further issue relates to the precision of the exposure temperature data, as some of our weather data for the main analyses originated from monitoring stations up to 100 kilometres away from participating hospitals. However, this may likely have generated a non-differential misclassification that biased the result toward the null, and therefore produced conservative estimates of the true risk. We were also unable to account for potential confounding from individual changes in behaviour and cold protection. We may have been able to partly mitigate this problem through use of the case-crossover design and control selection strategy as the pattern of activity and clothing habits of individuals are likely to remain consistent at across times of the day, days of the week, and within a one-month calendar period. It is also interesting to note that a Eurowinter group study reported no associations between indoor heating, clothing protection, and even sweating, with reductions in cerebrovascular disease related mortality [<xref rid="pone.0149040.ref028" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>]. While we were unable to collect information on other potential confounders, such as the patients’ emotional state that could have a bearing on BP variability, the presence of viral infections, usage of sympathomimetics and of other weather parameters or air pollution, these are also assumed to be constant in case-crossover analysis. Finally, as the study was post-hoc, we cannot exclude the play of chance and reliably establish a causal relationship between low ambient temperature and ICH occurrence.</p><p>In conclusion, the present findings based on 1997 patients from a large global study show an increased risk of ICH within a few hours of exposure to very low ambient temperature. The risk of ICH in high-risk subjects might be reduced by more stringent monitoring and management of BP levels during cold seasons, targeted personal advice and environmental heating interventions, triggered by forecasts of very low temperature.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="sec013"><title>Supporting Information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0149040.s001"><label>S1 Fig</label><caption><title>Overall cumulative odds ratio plot for temperature effects using approximated weather data.</title><p>CI indicates confidence interval.</p><p>(TIFF)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0149040.s001.tiff"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0149040.s002"><label>S2 Fig</label><caption><title>Overall cumulative odds ratio plot for temperature effects with extended 72h lag period.</title><p>CI indicates confidence interval.</p><p>(TIFF)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0149040.s002.tiff"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0149040.s003"><label>S3 Fig</label><caption><title>Lag-exposure plots of intracerebral hemorrhage for specific temperatures with extended 72h lag period.</title><p>CI indicates confidence interval.</p><p>(TIFF)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0149040.s003.tiff"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0149040.s004"><label>S1 Table</label><caption><title>Weather characteristics of all included INTERACT2 cities.</title><p>(DOCX)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0149040.s004.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><ack><sec id="sec014"><title>INTERACT2 Investigators</title><p><bold>Executive Committee: C.S.
