Abstract

Introduction For many Danes, Christmas is a traditional celebration linked with food, and Christmas dinner might be the most important dinner of the year. Whether the correct meal includes roast pork or roast duck is a deeply personal question. Methods We asked all patients who were admitted to the surgical gastrointestinal emergency clinics of the Capital Region in Denmark on Christmas Eve and Christmas Night what they have had for Christmas dinner. Results A total of 30 patients presented to the hospital, and 17 of these were successfully included. 71% had eaten roast duck and 65% had eaten roast pork. This result was non-significant compared with the general Danish population tested with chi-square (p = 0.955). Conclusion We found no significance in the ingestion of roast duck and roast pork between patients at surgical gastrointestinal emergency clinics and the Danish background population. Funding none. Trial registration none.
