Abstract

In early 2020, as the SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) pandemic progressed, many institutions limited nonurgent surgical care. This coincided with a decade-long trend of increasing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and ureteroscopy (URS) and decreasing shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) for surgical management of urolithiasis. Herein, we evaluate temporal stone surgery rates and surgeon volumes in the Medicare population and suggest how COVID-19 contributed to them. Retrospective analysis was conducted using the "Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners" database containing data from January 2013 to December 2021. Adult patients who underwent stone surgery were included. We evaluated surgeon characteristics and changes in case volumes over time adjusted for population. In 2013, urologists performed 68,910 stone surgeries: SWL 42,903 (62%); URS 25,321 (37%); PCNL 686 (1%). Over the next 8 years, there was an average annual increase in URS (+13%) and PCNL (+13%) and decrease in SWL (-2%). In 2020, there was a 14% reduction in all stone cases: SWL (-25%); URS (-6%); PCNL (-8%). By 2021, case volumes recovered to pre-2020 levels, though SWL remained low: SWL 33,974 (34%); URS 64,541 (64%); PCNL 1764 (2%). From 2013 to 2021, the number of urologists performing SWL decreased (1718 to 1361) while URS and PCNL providers doubled (1,347 to 2,914 and 28 to 76, respectively). From 2013 to 2021, there was an increase in URS and PCNL and a decrease in SWL in the US Medicare population. The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a decline in stone surgeries, particularly SWL. By 2021, PCNL and URS case numbers increased significantly with a smaller increase in SWL.

摘要

2020 年初,随着 SARS-CoV-2(COVID-19)大流行的进展,许多机构限制了非紧急手术护理。这与十年来经皮肾镜碎石术 (PCNL) 和输尿管镜检查术 (URS) 不断增加以及冲击波碎石术 (SWL) 用于治疗尿路结石的手术管理不断减少的趋势相吻合。在此,我们评估了医疗保险人群中结石手术的时间性结石手术率和外科医生数量,并提出了 COVID-19 对这些手术率的影响。 使用包含 2013 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月数据的“医疗保险医生和其他从业者”数据库进行回顾性分析。纳入接受结石手术的成年患者。我们评估了外科医生的特征以及随时间推移的手术量变化,并根据人口进行了调整。 2013 年,泌尿科医生进行了 68910 例结石手术:SWL 42903 例(62%);URS 25321 例(37%);PCNL 686 例(1%)。在接下来的 8 年中,URS(+13%)和 PCNL(+13%)的平均年增长率和 SWL(-2%)的年增长率均有所增加。2020 年,所有结石病例减少了 14%:SWL(-25%);URS(-6%);PCNL(-8%)。到 2021 年,手术量已恢复到 2020 年前的水平,但 SWL 仍然较低:SWL 33974 例(34%);URS 64541 例(64%);PCNL 1764 例(2%)。从 2013 年到 2021 年,进行 SWL 的泌尿科医生数量减少(从 1718 人减少到 1361 人),而 URS 和 PCNL 医生数量翻了一番(从 1347 人增加到 2914 人和从 28 人增加到 76 人)。 从 2013 年到 2021 年,美国医疗保险人群中 URS 和 PCNL 增加,SWL 减少。COVID-19 大流行与结石手术减少有关,特别是 SWL。到 2021 年,PCNL 和 URS 的病例数量显著增加,SWL 的增加幅度较小。
