“…Patients with Covid-19 primarily develop fever and lung symptoms, which can quickly evolve into an acute respiratory distress syndrome, necessitating of intubation, ventilation and admission in intensive therapy unit. However, although Covid-19 is a major problem, people have continued to suffer from other diseases [14].…”

Background: 11 March 2020 WHO declares the state of emergency due to Coronavirus disease. All governments take urgent aggressive actions including general lockdown to control disease transmission. The orthopaedic elective surgery activities have been stopped as result of limitation of hospital admissions. So, several patients waiting for surgery, have seen their procedure cancelled or postponed. In addition, few patients were warried about their surgery, or their outpatient visits due to fear of contracting Covid-19. In this particular historical period, we have seen consequences of this delay of treatments especially in untreated surgery complications and surgery rehabilitation programs.Case series: three patients; one of these has been treated with delay, one has not been treated and one didn't get appropriate physical rehabilitation as a consequence of Covid-19 pandemic, in Sicily.Conclusion: delay of treatments or avoided cares for treatable condition are side effect of Covid-19 pandemic, potentially dangerous like the direct consequences of the pandemic.

“…[4][5][6] It provides a more accurate picture of the pandemic's impact, since it includes events incorrectly attributed to non-COVID-19 causes due to limited testing and underreporting, as well as deaths resulting from non-communicable causes indirectly influenced by the disruption of health services. [7][8][9][10][11][12] Among kidney transplant recipients (KTR), the direct high mortality rate related to SARS-CoV-2 infection is unambiguous. In the pre-omicron era, one out of every four patients with a confirmed diagnosis died from COVID-19.…”

BackgroundBecause COVID‐19 has been associated with high lethality rates among kidney transplant recipients (KTR), but also with a severe disruption and delays in overall healthcare, this study aims to evaluate the excess mortality in the pandemic era among KTR in a high‐volume Brazilian transplant center.MethodsThis study used data from a single center that provides follow‐up on all its transplant recipients. The population of interest included all the patients who were transplanted between August 31, 1983 and December 31, 2022 and who were live from January 1, 2014. Using the “AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average” forecasting algorithm, the expected mortality for the pandemic era (2020–2022) was modeled from the pre‐pandemic era (2014–2019).ResultsThere were 12 077 KTRs at risk of dying in the entire observation period. In the pre‐pandemic era, there were 21 deaths per 1000 patients at risk. In the pandemic era, there were 1429 observed deaths (rate of 47 deaths per 1000 patients at risk) versus the expected 587 deaths, resulting in an absolute number of 842 excess deaths, or an observed‐to‐expected ratio of 2.4, or an absolute rate of 26 deaths in excess per 1000 patients at risk. The excess deaths exhibited a temporal pattern mirroring that of the surges in new cases and lethality rates of COVID‐19. COVID‐19‐related deaths drove 94% of excess mortality in the pandemic era.ConclusionIn this large cohort of KTR under centralized follow‐up, more than twofold excess mortality was primarily driven by COVID‐19‐related deaths, highlighting the vulnerability of this population to the most severe presentation of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. image
