What is Association between Meniere’s disease and air pollution in South Korea about?
## Abstract Meniere’s disease is thought to be a disorder of the inner ear function, affected by genetic and environmental factors. Several recent studies have shown that air pollution could affect middle and inner ear diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the Meniere’s disease occurrence and air pollution status in Korea. This study used a time-stratified case-crossover design. Hospital visit data by Meniere’s disease were collected from the Korea National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort (NHIS-NSC) database. Daily air pollution data for sulfur dioxide (SO~2~), nitrogen dioxide (NO~2~), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O~3~), and particulate matter (PM~10~: ≤ 10 μm in diameter, and PM~2.5~: ≤ 2.5 μm in diameter) were collected from the National Ambient air quality Monitoring Information System (NAMIS) database. We used two-stage analysis to assess the association between degree of air pollution and the occurrence of Meniere’s disease. In the first stage, region-specific analysis was conducted to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) of Meniere’s disease risk associated with each air pollutant exposure by using conditional logistic regr
