Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has long been considered associated with solar dermatitis, but the associations have not been well quantified. To depict the full-range exposure-response association between daily UVR exposures and daily outpatient visits of solar dermatitis. We collected the daily number of outpatient visits of solar dermatitis and monitored hourly ground data of UVR (the sum of A- and B-band) from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2017 in Shanghai, China. The data were analyzed using the time-series approach, in which overdispersed generalized additive model was used and time trends and weather conditions were controlled for. During the study period, we recorded a total of 15,051 outpatient visits of solar dermatitis. There was a consistently increasing risk of solar dermatitis associated with stronger UVR without a discernible threshold. The effects occurred on the present day, increased to the largest at lag 1 or 2 days, and attenuated to the null at lag 5 days or more. A unit (w/m 2 ) increase in daily maximum-hour UVR was associated with 1.70% (95%CI: 1.19%, 2.20%) increase of outpatient visits of solar dermatitis. Stronger effects occurred among the young people, females, and in the warm season. The risks of solar dermatitis due to UVR exposure would be overestimated if ambient temperature was not adjusted. This study provides quantitative epidemiological estimates for the positive associations between short-term exposure to UVR and increased risks of solar dermatitis. The associations were more prominent among young people, females, and in warm seasons.
