Abstract
Background: Upper urinary tract infection associated with obstruction is an emergent condition that needs proper and timely treatment. As the COVID-19 sees complicated development, the government has launched isolation and restriction orders to control the pandemic. This decision might drive more patients to defer medical care in comparison with the past. Therefore, we conduct this study to evaluate the upper urinary tract infection associated with obstruction presentations in Binh Dan hospital during the COVID-19 restriction period.
Methods: The data were collected from 150 patients who were hospitalized with diagnosis of upper urinary tract infection associated with obstruction during the peak outbreak of COVID-19 (from June to September 2021) and the corresponding period of the previous year. Unpaired Student’s t-test was utilized to compare continuous variables. Chi - square was used to investigate categorical data.
Results: Of 150 patients, 35 were admitted to hospital during the COVID-19 restriction order period. The number of hospitalized patients from June to September 2021 was remarkably lower than the corresponding time span of 2020. The rate of patients with SIRS in 2021 (54.2%) was significantly higher than that of 2020 (30.4%, p=0.01). However, there were no significant differences in terms of WBC count, GFR, grade of hydronephrosis and rate of usage of broad-spectrum antibiotics. There are no uroseptic shock cases or deaths recorded in 2021.
Conclusion: Despite a decrease in the number of hospital admissions, there was an increase in clinical severity of upper urinary tract infection associated with obstruction during COVID-19 outbreak in Ho Chi Minh city
