Percent increase (excess risk, ER) with different lag structures for total pediatric outpatient and emergency admissions (three hospitals) owing to temperature change. ER for 1 °C increases in temperature difference in 24 h (TDIF24H) and absolute value of mean temperature difference in 48 h (MTD48H). ER values obtained by single-pollutant regression. The X-axis represents ER values, and the Y-axis is the different lag structures. Red bars indicate 95% confidence intervals of ER. Lag1 to Lag6 are simple lag effects and Lag2MA to Lag6MA are 2-day to 6-day cumulative effects
