Kathleen McLean - Early results from a case control study of mortality during the 2021 extreme heat event in British Columbia
British Columbia experienced an extreme heat event in 2021 that was associated with approximately 740 excess deaths. We are comparing 1597 adults who died during the extreme heat event with 7970 control subjects who survived the event, using linked administrative health data. We matched controls on age, sex, region of residence, and care setting (residential care, hospital, emergency department, or community). Early results indicate that schizophrenia, substance use disorder, and heart failure were among the most important risk factors for heat dome mortality.
