Abstract

Admissions to hospital following parasuicide in one city over eighteen years exhibit a cyclical variation apparently synchronized with the lunar quarters. The effect would only account for approximately 0.7 out of the average of 46 parasuicides per 100,000 adults per lunar cycle (95% CI 0.6-0.8), and fails to reach statistical significance.
