@entity1 @entity66 @entity1151
The association between air travel and @entity1151 ( @entity1151 ) is recognized, but the absolute risk has not been quantified. Due to its geographical isolation, more than 50% of international travelers arrive at Sydney airport after a flight of'at least 9 hours. @entity1 who become acutely unwell upon disembarkation are taken to one of two hospitals. In this study we reviewed the presentations at these two hospitals. A retrospective analysis of all @entity1 presenting to the emergency departments (ED) directly from Sydney International Airport with symptomatic @entity1151 over a three-year period was undertaken. Over 36 months, 17 @entity1 were admitted from Sydney International Airport to the ED with acute @entity1151 . All @entity1 had flown for at least 9 hours. Seven @entity1 had risk factors for @entity66 . During the period of our review 6.58 million passengers arrived in Sydney on flights of at least 9 hours in duration, representing an incidence of 2.57 per million. In conclusion, the incidence of acutely symptomatic @entity1151 in association with long distance air travel is low and the majority of @entity1 survive following hospital presentation.
