How the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic Impacted Patients’ Care in the Vascular Surgery Divisions of the Southern Regions of the Italian Peninsula
Background: To investigate the effects of the COVID-19 lockdowns on the vasculopathic population. Methods: The Divisions of Vascular Surgery of the southern Italian peninsula joined this multicenter retrospective study conducted through cross-sectional survey. Each received a 13-point questionnaire, investigating the hospitalization rate of vascular patients in the first 11 months of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the preceding 11 months. Results: 27 out of 29 Centers were enrolled. April-December 2020 (7092 patients) vs 2019 (9161 patients): post-EVAR surveillance, treatment for Rutherford category 3 peripheral arterial disease, and asymptomatic carotid stenosis revascularization significantly decreased [1484 (16.2%) vs 1014 (14.3%), p=0.0009; 1401 (15.29%) vs 959 (13.52%), p=0.0006; and 1558 (17.01%) vs 934 (13.17%), p<0.0001, respectively]; while revascularization or major amputations for chronic limb-threatening ischemia, and urgent revascularization for symptomatic carotid stenosis significantly increased [1204 (16.98%) vs 1245 (13.59%), p<0.0001; 355 (5.01%) vs 358 (3.91%), p=0.0007; and 153 (2.16%) vs 140 (1.53%), p=0.0009, respectively]. Conclusions: The suspension of elective activities during the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant reduction in asymptomatic carotid stenosis revascularization, treatment for Rutherford 3 peripheral arterial disease, post-EVAR surveillance. Contestually, we observed a significant increase in urgent revascularization for symptomatic carotid stenosis, and revascularization or major amputations for chronic limb-threatening ischemia..
