Christmas dinner traditions in Denmark show no significant difference between surgical gastrointestinal emergency patients and the general population regarding roast duck or roast pork consumption. Both groups enjoy these traditional Christmas meals.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Dietary Habits
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Christmas dinner is a significant culinary tradition in Denmark.
  • The choice between roast duck and roast pork for Christmas dinner is a personal preference.
  • Investigating dietary patterns of patients admitted to surgical gastrointestinal emergency clinics during holidays is relevant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the consumption of roast duck and roast pork among patients admitted to surgical gastrointestinal emergency clinics on Christmas Eve and Christmas Night with the general Danish population.
  • To determine if specific Christmas dinner choices are associated with gastrointestinal emergencies.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted among patients admitted to surgical gastrointestinal emergency clinics in the Capital Region of Denmark on Christmas Eve and Christmas Night.

  • Patients were asked about their Christmas dinner consumption, specifically roast duck and roast pork.
  • Results were statistically compared to data from the general Danish population using a chi-square test.

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 30 patients presenting, 17 were successfully included in the study.
    • 71% of included patients reported eating roast duck for Christmas dinner.
    • 65% of included patients reported eating roast pork for Christmas dinner.

    Conclusions:

    • There was no statistically significant difference in the consumption of roast duck and roast pork between patients at surgical gastrointestinal emergency clinics and the general Danish population.
    • The study suggests that traditional Christmas dinner choices do not disproportionately affect individuals presenting with gastrointestinal emergencies during the holiday period.
