Gender-Specific Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Orthopedic and Traumatology Care: An Analysis of Hospital Admissions and Length of Stay.

Background: Understanding gender disparities in healthcare outcomes is crucial, especially during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. The absence of gender-specific data on hospital admissions and lengths of stay for orthopedic and traumatology patients limits the precision of current analyses, making conclusions speculative.

Objective: This study aims to highlight the potential insights that could be gained from gender-disaggregated data, illustrating how a more precise gender-based analysis could reveal healthcare disparities in orthopedic and trauma care during the pandemic.

The Evolution of Patient Satisfaction in Postoperative Care: The Impact of Investments and the Algorithm for Assessing Significant Growth over the Last 5 Years.

An analysis of patient satisfaction in the context of healthcare reflects the patient's perception of actual care through the prism of their expectations of ideal care.

Statistical analysis was performed based on the questionnaires distributed to patients hospitalized in the surgical wards of the Bihor County Emergency Clinical Hospital, between 2019 and 2023.

Local Disease-Free Survival and Disease-Free Survival in Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Diagnosed and Treated in Bihor County, Romania.

Oncological and surgical modalities when precisely employed together can prove to be helpful for determining the proper diagnosis and treatment strategies. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been found to have a role in reducing tumor size and has evolved as a treatment regimen for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).
