Few data describe the incidence and outcome of COVID-19 infection in patients undergoing chemotherapy.The aim of our study is to assess COVID-19 behavior in patients treated with chemotherapy.MethodologyWe considered 179 patients affected by gynecological cancers who underwent chemotherapy during the pandemic. Patients were educated to respect COVID-19 rules of conduct. We used different criteria to screen the patients with the rhino-pharyngeal swab and anamnestic questionnaire, so we analyzed two different periods: 11th March–15th October 2020, 16th October 2020–30th April 2021. From 11th March to 30th April 2020 we screened the symptomatic patients;from 1st May to 15th October 2020 the swab was made to all patients before their first access. Conversely, during the second period (16th October 2020-30th April 2021), we made the swab to all patients every 28 days. Patients resulted positive to COVID-19 were suspended from chemotherapy until their first negative swab.Result(s)*During the first period 806 chemotherapy cycles were carried out: there were no positive patients. During the second period 775 chemotherapy cycles were carried out: 13/99 (13.3%) patients resulted positive. Three of them (23.1%) were symptomatic;among these only one patient (7.7%) had SARS-CoV2 pneumonia and was admitted to semi-intensive care;what is important to underline is that this patient was positive before starting the second line chemotherapy. Two patients (15.4%) were paucisymptomatic, one of whom died for cancer progression. Overall, 10 patients (77%) resulted asymptomatic.Conclusion*Our experience supports that chemotherapy does not worsen SARS-CoV2 symptoms and mortality rate. Only with periodic swabs it was possible to identify positive patients, as they were asymptomatic. Moreover, none of the patients who became positive during chemotherapy developed pneumonia.Further studies are needed to evaluate the protective role of chemotherapy against COVID-19 symptoms and complications.","PeriodicalId":253349,"journal":{"name":"Organization of gynaecological cancer care","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128956810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, the impact of these pandemic-induced alterations in gynaecological oncology healthcare is unknown. We assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gynaecological oncology healthcare in the Netherlands by analysing data of the Dutch Gynaecological Oncology Audit (DGOA). Methodology All patients in The Netherlands undergoing surgery for ovarian, vulvar, endometrial or cervical cancer are registered in the DGOA since 2014. To evaluate whether the COVID-19 pandemic influenced care, we compared the following parameters that are available in the DGOA: surgical volume, time to first treatment (TTFT), length of hospital stay (LOHS), postoperative complications and 30-day mortality. Four periods were identified in 2020 based on incidence of COVID-19 infections in The Netherlands: 'Pre-COVID-19', 'First wave', 'Interim period' and 'Second wave'. Using descriptive statistics, results from 2020 were compared with the same four periods of 2018-2019 combined. Result(s)∗ A total of 12.447 surgical procedures were analysed. Analysing the four periods in 2020, compared to the average volumes of 2018-2019, the surgical volume for the four tumour types decreased during the first COVID-19 wave and interim period (figure 1). This was due to a decrease in surgical volume for cervical cancer only (17.2% in 2020), while volumes for ovarian, vulvar and endometrial cancer remaining stable. Moreover, during the interim period, only 51% of the expected cervical cancer procedures were performed. A significantly shorter median TTFT was observed in all four malignancies in 2020, compared to 2018-2019 (table 1). No differences in LOHS, postoperative complications and 30-day mortality were observed (table 1). Conclusion∗ The COVID-19 pandemic clearly impacted gynaecological oncology healthcare in The Netherlands. During the first COVID-19 wave, surgical volume for gynaecological oncological procedures dropped considerably, mainly due to a substantial drop in surgical volume for cervical cancer. This is probably caused by the temporary interruption of the population screening program. During the COVID-19 pandemic, waiting time to start therapy was shorter. The quality of perioperative healthcare was not negatively impacted by the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":253349,"journal":{"name":"Organization of gynaecological cancer care","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124247921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All patients were identified for SDD at pre-op clinic and were followed up until 30 days post discharge.Data was collected from electronic patient to record demographic, operating time & outcome, postoperative recovery (+/- complication and readmission) and time of discharge.Following the first audit cycle in 2019, interventions were performed comprising of staff education to highlight the human factors that led to failed SDD (including delayed prescriptions, discharge summaries and removal of catheters).Result(s)*A total of 12 patients were selected for SDD in 2020 compared to 22 in 2019 with 30 day follow up for all patients.

Indian COVID-19 vaccination program for 60 years + and above 45 years with co-morbidities began on 1st March 2021. As per COVIDsurg collaborative data, between 0.6% and 1.6% of patients develop COVID-19 infection after elective surgery. Even after use of mitigation measures like pre-surgery RT/PCR and COVID free surgical pathways, COVID-19 is a significant nosocomial infection with 4- and 8-fold increased risk of death in the 30 days following surgery. Our aim was to study vaccine compliance in patients counselled to be vaccinated before surgery, pre-surgery RT/PCR positivity rate, 30-day post-operative SARS Cov-2 rate and peri-operative outcomes. Methodology In this prospective observational study, patients waitlisted for major gynaecological cancer surgeries who were also eligible for COVID-19 vaccination were enrolled. Patients were counselled to get atleast one dose vaccinated 2 weeks before elective surgery. In cases of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, vaccination was advised atleast 2 weeks after the last dose of chemotherapy. Patients vaccinated with atleast 1 dose - 2 weeks prior to surgery or those with both doses vaccinated atleast a week prior to surgery were eligible for study. Mitigation measures of negative pre-surgery RT/PCR (within 24 hours prior to surgery) and COVID free surgical pathway were used. Result(s) In the overall cohort of 53 patients, 34 got vaccinated suggesting compliance of 64%. In the unvaccinated cohort, 52.6% were pře-surgery RT/PCR +ve against 5.8% vaccinated patients (p = 0.0001). Thirty- day post-operative SARS Cov-2 rate was 44.4% and 0% in the unvaccinated and vaccinated cohort respectively (p = 0.0001). No cases of severe COVID-19 requiring hospitalisation were seen in the vaccinated cohort. There was no 30-day post-operative mortality in either cohorts. Conclusion Counselling regarding COVID-19 vaccination prior to surgery should be an essential part of pre-operative work up. COVID-19 vaccination prior to surgery has two-fold advantage. It prevents the postponement of elective cancer surgeries which are time bound. There is a significant decreased risk of severe COVID-19 infection and related morbidity post-operatively in the vaccinated population.
