摘要
背景:关于新冠肺炎疫情对日本整形外科手术数量的影响,数据有限。方法:我们在全国范围内进行了一项医院调查,询问2019年1月至2021年6月每个医院每月进行的整形外科手术数量。那些在2019年进行了至少100次手术的机构被纳入分析范围。这些设施进一步按地区和医院特点进行了分组。还进行了简短的健康经济评估。使用单变量分析将风险比与P进行比较。结果:问卷被发送到1988家医院,1671家医院(84%)做出了回应。调查数据显示,与2019年相比,2020年整形外科手术总数有所下降(1061541 vs 1119955P结论:日本整形外科手术数量在统计上显著下降。下降幅度因县和医院特征而异,对分类功能较高的医疗机构的影响更大。估计的直接健康经济影响相当大。
The influence of COVID-19 epidemic on the number of orthopaedic surgeries in Japan
Background
There is limited data on the impact of COVID-19 epidemic on the number of orthopaedic surgeries in Japan.
Methods
We conducted a nationwide hospital survey asking for the monthly number of orthopaedic surgeries performed at each facility from January 2019 to June 2021. Those facilities that had performed at least 100 surgeries in 2019 were included for analyses. The facilities were further grouped by prefecture and by hospital characteristics. A brief health economic evaluation was also performed. Risk ratios were compared using univariate analyses with P < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
Results
Questionnaire was sent to 1988 hospitals with 1671 hospitals (84%) responding. The survey data indicated a total number of orthopaedic surgeries decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 (1,061,541 vs 1,119,955 P < 0.01), and also for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2019 (530,388 vs 550,378 P < 0.01). In 2020, over 50% of all facilities in nearly all of the prefectures saw a decline in surgical procedures.
The risk of incurring more than a 25% decease in the number of surgeries was significantly higher in 2020 for class I designated medical institutions compared to those that were not designated for any types of infectious diseases among the institutions with a tertiary emergency medical center in 2020 (crude risk ratio 2.9: 95% CI 1.2–7.4, p = 0.02) and in 2021 (crude risk ratio 4.7: 95% CI 1 0.9–12.1, p < 0.01).
The estimated total nationwide decrease of revenue were in the range of approximately ¥29.2 to ¥116.8 billion per year for orthopaedic surgeries alone.
Conclusion
There was a statistically significant decrease in the number of orthopaedic surgeries in Japan. The magnitude of the decline varied by prefectures and hospital characteristics, with the greater impact imposed on medical institutions with higher classification functions. The estimated immediate health economic impact was sizable.
