Focusing on the results from main analysis for cold ( Figure 3 , bottom, labeled as “CS”), we observed a positive trend of the cumulative RR for moderate temperatures from week 1 to week 4, but in this case, statistically significant risk values below 1 were obtained for the 1st week after the exposure (RR = 0.87 [95% CI: 0.76–0.99]), and any RRs for extreme cold effect again reached significance.

However, as previously stated, due to the reduction in the length of the series and the resulting loss of statistical power, these effects did not reach statistical significance.
If we only considered the results of the main analysis (labeled as “WS”) for heat, we did not observe any consistent cumulative RR of extreme temperatures in the different weeks, whereas for the moderate interval an increasing trend in RR estimates was obtained from week 1 to week 4.
