ACTA CLINICA CROATICA(2023)
摘要
The aim of this study was to compare the number of newly diagnosed, histopathologically confirmed cases of urothelial carcinoma before and during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Zagreb University Hospital Center. We retroactively collected and analyzed 300 histopathologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020, at the Department of Pathology and Cytology, Zagreb University Hospital Center. Our results showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a statistically significant decrease (p=0.001; chi(2)-test) in the number of newly diagnosed, histopathologically confirmed cases of urothelial carcinoma at the Zagreb University Hospital Center. There was a decrease in the absolute number of newly diagnosed urothelial carcinoma by 25.8% in the observed time of the pandemic (March 19, 2020 to December 31, 2020) as compared to the same period of the previous year (March 19, 2019 to December 31, 2019). Our study is the first study of this type based on the number of newly diagnosed urothelial carcinoma in Croatia. Observing the early period of the pandemic, our results provide important foundation for future monitoring and long-term consequences of the pandemic on the morbidity and mortality of urothelial carcinoma.
