Artigo Científico Acesso embargado Influência do ciclo lunar no trabalho de parto e ruptura prematura de membranas(2020) Alves, Maria HelenaThis study aimed to analyze the occurrence of labor and premature rupture of ovular membranes in the different phases of the moon and its changes. The sample was composed of pregnant women admitted to a hospital in southern Santa Catarina for labor or premature rupture of ovular membranes, in 2018, based on information obtained by the analysis of medical records. There was a slight increase in the number of deliveries on the new moon (19.2%) and change to the new moon (11.7%) but without statistical significance. Reason for hospitalization, route of delivery, and parity were not associated with the moon and its phase changes. There was no relationship between months of the year and the reason for hospitalization. It was found that the moon and its phase changes did not denote a higher number of hospital admissions for labor or premature rupture of ovular membranes, contrary to popular belief. Keywords: labor, moon, pregnancy, obstetrics, premature rupture fetal membranes.
