title: [Effect of meteorologic parameters on acute admission of patients with lumbar intervertebral disk displacement].
abstract: The correlation between local meteorological parameters and acute admittance to hospital of patients with lumbar disk prolapses was investigated. The study shows a significant correlation between drop of temperature and increase of humidity for male on the day of admittance and for female on changes from the day before to the day of admittance. This seems to be in contrast with other investigators, who couldn't find a correlation between local meteorological parameters and pain. The reasons for this are discussed.
