Ambient ozone concentrations and the risk of perforated and nonperforated appendicitis: A multicity case-crossover study [1]

Environmental determinants of appendicitis are poorly understood. Past work suggests that air pollution may increase the risk of appendicitis. The researchers investigated whether ambient ground-level ozone (O3) concentrations were associated with appendicitis and whether these associations varied between perforated and nonperforated
appendicitis.
