| الوصف: | The aim of this study was to demonstrate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the number and characteristics of head and neck cancer patients in two consecutive periods, pre-pandemic and pandemic. For this purpose, we performed a retrospective analysis of patients with primary carcinomas of head and neck mucosal sites, salivary gland tumors, as well as neck metastases. Two pre-COVID-19 years (2018-2019) and two pandemic years (2020-2021) were compared. Demographic data, overall number of patients, TNM classification of the two most affected sites (oral cavity and larynx), time from symptom onset to first outpatient admission to our department, and time from first admission to treatment initiation were noted. Study results revealed a higher number of patients during the pandemic period and difference in the distribution of tumor sites (χ2=33.68, df=9, p Cilj ove studije bio je utvrditi utjecaj pandemije COVID-19 na broj bolesnika s karcinomima glave i vrata te njihove karakteristike u vremenu prije i za vrijeme pandemije. U tu svrhu provedena je retrospektivna studija kod bolesnika s primarnim sluzničnim karcinomima glave i vrata, žlijezda slinovnica i onih s metastazama na vratu. Provedena je usporedba dviju godina prije pandemije COVID-19 (2018. i 2019.) i dviju pandemijskih godina (2020. i 2021.). Izračunati su i prikazani demografski podaci, ukupan broj bolesnika, TNM klasifikacija dvaju najučestalijih sijela (usna šupljina i grkljan), vrijeme potrebno da se bolesnik od pojave prvih simptoma javi specijalistu našeg Odjela (1. razdoblje) i vrijeme od prvog specijalističkog pregleda do početka terapije (2. razdoblje). Rezultati su pokazali veći broj bolesnika u razdoblju pandemije i razliku u distribuciji tumorskih sijela u odnosu na dvije godine prije pandemije (χ2=33,68, df=9, p |
