To study the relationship between the full moon and oral and maxillofacial emergencies.
Retrospective analysis of 2416 referrals to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, St. Bartholomews and The Royal London Hospital, London, over a 16-month period (17 lunar months). Frequency distributions were used to assess emergency workload during the week of the full moon.
There was a rise in referrals in the latter part of the 7-day period surrounding the full moon. There was a persistent reduction in emergency workload in the 3-day period leading up to the full moon. The results approach but do not reach significance.
The effect of the moon on oral and maxillofacial referrals cannot be proven.
研究满月与口腔颌面急诊之间的关系。
对伦敦圣巴塞洛缪医院和皇家伦敦医院口腔颌面外科在16个月(17个农历月)期间的2416例转诊病例进行回顾性分析。采用频率分布来评估满月周期间的急诊工作量。
在满月前后7天的后半段,转诊病例有所增加。在满月前3天,急诊工作量持续减少。结果接近但未达到显著水平。
无法证实月亮对口腔颌面转诊病例有影响。
