Background/Objective: Gastrointestinal tract cancers may have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The limitations of digestive endoscopy, fear effect, and restrictions on hospital admissions during pandemic delayed presentation patients to hospitals surgical procedures impacted overall survival. Methods: We conducted an observational, cross-sectional study esophageal, gastric, small bowel, colorectal cancer admitted our between 1 January 2018 31 December 2021. analyzed hospitalization rates, pathological type, onset complications, staging, surgery compared a pre-pandemic period (January 2018-December 2019). Results: During 2018-2021, 1613 with malignant gut tumors were (112 esophageal eso-cardial tumors, 419 gastric 34 bowel 1058 tumors). Admission was reduced 30.3% for 27.6% 17.3% tumors. For higher frequency stenosing palliative gastrostomies noted. More stage III lower rate vascular invasion recorded No differences regarding In slightly more II recorded, but occlusive, bleeding, perforated similar; also, rates similar, two-fold perioperative mortality. survival carcinoma (but no statistical significance), although clear explanation has not emerged. Conclusions: impact included significantly newly diagnosed admissions, carcinomas, mortality carcinoma, trend surprisingly without significance). Future research is necessary assessing long-term impact.

Increasing evidence suggests that checklist plays an important role in chronic disease. This study aims to use bibliometric methods explore the evolving global research trends, hotspots, and emerging frontiers of application disease research, providing deeper insights into current landscape guiding future management development efforts. Bibliometrics analysis was performed utilizing RStudio VOSviewer software. atlas analyzed hotspots trends. In total, there were 408 publications authored by 2398 authors from 784 institutions 53 countries, published 274 journals. The USA led publication numbers, international cooperation societal impact. leading core journal Archives Pathology & Laboratory Medicine. first highly cited document Psychological Assessment Bovin MJ et al. Chronic management, validity treatment recovery potential provides a comprehensive uncovering trends while offering valuable references for directions.
