A retrospective study of 46 patients who presented with proved testicular torsion over five years at two Dublin hospitals showed that in 40 cases torsion had occurred when the temperature was under 2 degrees C; the incidence of torsion was higher during the cold months of the year. Both of these findings were statistically significant. These and other results suggest that the ambient temperature may have some role in the incidence and aetiology of testicular torsion.
一项对都柏林两家医院五年内确诊为睾丸扭转的46例患者的回顾性研究表明,在40例病例中,扭转发生在温度低于2摄氏度时;扭转发生率在一年中的寒冷月份较高。这两个发现均具有统计学意义。这些及其他结果表明,环境温度可能在睾丸扭转的发生率和病因学中起一定作用。
