From the results of this study, it can be concluded that a difference is noted in the frequency of acute appendicitis and the number of appendectomies performed in different phases of the menstrual cycle. Therefore, the female sex hormones might play an important role in the cause of acute appendicitis. This is further supported by the lower sex specific incidence of acute appendicitis for women in the second, third and fourth decades of life.
从本研究结果可以得出结论，在月经周期的不同阶段，急性阑尾炎的发病率及阑尾切除手术的数量存在差异。因此，女性性激素可能在急性阑尾炎的病因中发挥重要作用。二十多岁、三十多岁及四十多岁女性急性阑尾炎较低的性别特异性发病率进一步支持了这一点。
