The incidence of Warthin's tumor (WT) has increased worldwide. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the incidence of WT in our hospital, which provides health care for an extremely large population.
We retrospectively evaluated 573 patients, comprising 345 males and 228 females, who all experienced parotid tumor for the past 20 years. Patients with WT that were operated in the last 20 years were evaluated according to the number of patients per year to determine the annual WT increase trend.
In the distribution of WT over the years of surgery, the ratio of WT to all tumors irregularly changed. Furthermore, the total number of parotidectomies per year increased in time. We investigated whether WT had any increasing trend over the years. The annual percentage change (APC) of WT was calculated, and according to the segmented regression analysis, the APC was insignificant (APC = 4.3, 95% CI = - 3.6-12.9, P = 0.300).
The incidence of WT has increased across the world. However, in our study, no significant APC was observed according to the segmented regression analysis.
沃辛瘤（Warthin's tumor，WT）的发病率在全球范围内有所增加。本研究旨在评估我们医院的 WT 发病率，该医院为极其庞大的人群提供医疗保健。
我们回顾性评估了 573 名患者，其中 345 名为男性，228 名为女性，他们在过去 20 年均因腮腺肿瘤接受治疗。根据每年的患者数量评估过去 20 年中接受 WT 手术的患者数量，以确定 WT 的年度增长趋势。
在手术年份 WT 的分布中，WT 与所有肿瘤的比例不规则变化。此外，每年腮腺切除术的总数随时间增加。我们研究了 WT 是否具有逐年增加的趋势。计算了 WT 的年百分比变化（APC），根据分段回归分析，APC 不显著（APC=4.3，95%CI=-3.6-12.9，P=0.300）。
WT 的发病率在全球范围内有所增加。然而，根据分段回归分析，我们的研究未观察到显著的 APC。
