Abstract

Coronavirus disease has spread throughout the world rapidly and has changed the world health scenario. Each hospital department was faced with an emergency and then reorganized services. The aim of the present work is to assess the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on the activity of the transplant center in the A.O.R.N. “Antonio Cardarelli” of Naples (Italy). This study was conducted considering all patients undergoing skin transplantation in the years 2019 (in the absence of Covid-19) and 2020 (in the pandemic emergency). In the work, the logistical regression was used to analyze the tie among hospitalization year (as a dependent variable) and the following independent variables: gender, age, Length of stay (LOS), relative weight DRG, discharge mode and admission procedure.
