To compare the prevalence of Renal Colic (RC) in Ramadan (the month of fasting for Moslems) with other months of the lunar year.
Records of 574 subjects, who were admitted in the two medical centers of Varamin (a city in a hot region of Iran), were reviewed in order to estimate the time trend of RC.
This study included 398 males (69.3%) and 176 females (30.7%). Twenty-seven males (62.8%) and 16 females (37.2%) were admitted in Ramadan; and 371 males (69.9%) and 160 females (30.1%) in other months (p<0.4) of the year. RCs were more common in June (68 patients, 11.8%), July (65 patients, 11.3%) and November (60 patients, 10.5%). Forty-three subjects (7.5%) admitted in Ramadan; the frequency was not significantly different from mean admission of the year (48.3 +/- 17 patients). There was also no significant difference between frequency of admissions in Ramadan and mean admission during cold half of the year (36.8 +/- 18.34 patients, p = 0.3). Mean admission (64.4 +/- 3.3 patients) in warm seasons were significantly higher than Ramadan (p < 0.001).
Lack of difference in the two groups indicates that higher temperature rather than fasting as a cause for RCs.
比较斋月（穆斯林的禁食月）与阴历年其他月份肾绞痛（RC）的患病率。
回顾了在伊朗炎热地区城市瓦拉明的两个医疗中心收治的574名患者的记录，以评估肾绞痛的时间趋势。
本研究包括398名男性（69.3%）和176名女性（30.7%）。斋月期间收治27名男性（62.8%）和16名女性（37.2%）；一年中其他月份收治371名男性（69.9%）和160名女性（30.1%）（p<0.4）。肾绞痛在6月（68例患者，11.8%）、7月（65例患者，11.3%）和11月（60例患者，10.5%）更为常见。斋月期间收治43名患者（7.5%）；该频率与年度平均收治频率（48.3±17例患者）无显著差异。斋月期间的收治频率与一年中寒冷半年的平均收治频率（36.8±18.34例患者，p = 0.3）之间也无显著差异。温暖季节的平均收治人数（64.4±3.3例患者）显著高于斋月（p < 0.001）。
两组之间无差异表明，较高温度而非禁食是肾绞痛的病因。
