The influence of atmospheric pressure on @entity1755 - is the diameter of the XXXX important?

@entity1 @entity101 @entity1755 @entity397 @entity439 @entity1756
BACKGROUND: The rate of @entity1755 correlates with the @entity439 's diameter, and a higher rate of @entity397 is observed in @entity1 with larger @entity439 . According to the literature, contradictory results concerning the relationship between atmospheric pressure and @entity439 size have been reported. AIM: In this paper, we assessed the influence of changes in atmospheric pressure on abdominal @entity1756 in relationship to the @entity439 's size. METHODS: The records of 223 @entity1 with @entity1756 were evaluated. All of the @entity1 had been admitted to the department in the period 1997-2007 from the Silesia region. The atmospheric pressures on the day of the @entity397 and on the days both before the @entity397 and between the @entity397 events were compared. The size of the @entity439 was also considered in the analysis. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in pressure between the days of @entity397 and the remainder of the days within an analysed period. The highest frequency of the admission of @entity1 with a @entity1755 was observed during periods of winter and spring, when the highest mean values of atmospheric pressure were observed; however, this observation was not statistically confirmed. A statistically non-significant trend towards the higher @entity397 of large @entity439 (> 7 cm) was observed in the cases where the pressure increased between the day before the @entity397 and the day of the @entity397 . This trend was particularly pronounced in @entity1 suffering from @entity101 (p = 0.1). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study do not support the hypothesis that there is a direct link between atmospheric pressure values and @entity1755 .
