This is the first to explore the potential relationship between DED and air pollution and meteorological conditions in cold region of Northeast China. The incidence of DED is positively correlated with PM10, CO, O3, air pressure, air temperature and wind speed. The combined impacts of PM10, NO2, air pressure and air temperature are stronger. This study provides a reference for air pollution prevention and climate control, highlighting the importance of coupling study for drug development and risk prediction.
