Climate-weather patterns at climatic resort and medical rehabilitation of patients with lung diseases

Aim. To assess the influence of the climatic and weather patterns at the South Coast of Crimea (SCC) on the effectiveness of health resort medical rehabilitation of patients with lung diseases (LD).

Materials and methods. A study carried in a group of 197 patients with LD. The influence of climatic and weather patterns at the SCC were assessed using the methods developed by the Academician Research Institute of Physical Methods of Treatment, Medical Climatology and Rehabilitation named after I.M. Sechenov – modified clinical index on weather pathogenicity and medical rehabilitation assessment according to the criteria of the “International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health” (ICF).

Results. Regression equations for the dynamics of the ICF domains b280, b430, b4303 and for the mean value of all domains on the values of air temperature, wind speed, cloudiness, and air temperature variability have been developed, which allow to reliably form a rehabilitation prognosis for patients with LD for all terms of health resort treatment in the SCC.

Conclusion. The use of modernized clinical indices of weather pathogenicity allows one to adequately assess and predict the effect of weather dynamics and form a rehabilitation prognosis for patients with LD.
