Adjusted relative risks (ARRs) with 95 confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated using general additive models: Log [E(Y)] = β0 + β(pollutants) + S1(pollutants) + S1(Temperature) + S2(humidity) + Sp(number) + β(pollutants) + parameters (week, season, middle east respiratory syndrome period) (degree of freedom = 3). The beta coefficients of PM2.5 were calculated with relative risks with 95% confidence intervals; PM2.5, particular mass <2.5 μm (μg/m3); PM10, particular mass <10 μm (μg/m3); O3, trioxide (ozone) (ppm, pulse per minute); NO2, nitric dioxide (ppm, pulse per minute); CO, carbon oxide (ppm, pulse per minute); SO2, sulfur dioxide (ppm, pulse per minute); F00-F99, Mental and Behavioral Disease; F00-F09, Organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders; F10-F19, Mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use; F20-F29, Schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders; F30-F39, Mood [affective] disorders; F40-F48, Neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders; F50-F59, Behavioral syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors; F60-F69, Disorders of adult personality and behavior; F70-F79, Mental retardation; F80-F89, Disorders of psychological development; F90-F98, Behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence; F99-F99, Unspecified mental disorder.
