Abstract |
Background |
The COVID-19 pandemic possessed far-reaching health implications beyond the public health impact that have yet to be fully elucidated. We hypothesized that the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in biliary disease complexity and incidence of emergency cholecystectomy.
Methods |
We reviewed our institutional experience with cholecystectomy from February 2019–February 2021, n = 912. Pre COVID-19 pandemic patients were compared to patients after the onset of the pandemic. Baseline characteristics were compared between groups. A Cochran-Armitage test for trend assessed the temporal impact of COVID-19 on emergency presentation and gallbladder disease complexity.
Results |
We identified 442 patients pre-pandemic and 470 patients during the pandemic. No significant differences were noted in demographics. COVID-19 significantly impacted emergency presentation (43.2% vs. 56.8%, p= <0.01), cholecystitis (53.2% vs 61.8%; p=<0.01), and gangrenous cholecystitis (2.8% vs 6.1%; p=<0.01). Both groups had similar clinical outcomes.
Conclusions |
The COVID-19 pandemic affected an increased incidence of emergency presentation and complexity of gallbladder disease but did not significantly impact clinical outcomes. These findings may have broader implications for other diseases possibly affected by COVID-19.
