Overall cumulative associations between mean ambient temperature and emergency department visits for subtypes of respiratory diseases over 0–21 lag days. Dotted vertical lines indicate MinRT, while the solid line with shaded areas represents the relative risk with 95% confidence intervals. ED, emergency department; MinRT, minimum risk temperature; AURI, acute upper respiratory infection; ALRI, acute lower respiratory infection; CLRD, chronic lower respiratory disease; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; ILD, interstitial lung disease
