During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Care in Denmark

Priya Sharma

We compared the number of lung cancer diagnoses, the quality of care, and the socioeconomic and clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic to earlier periods. All patients diagnosed with lung cancer under the age of 18 between January 1, 2018, and August 31, 2021, as documented in the Danish Lung Cancer Registry, were included in the study. Using a generalised linear model, we computed the Prevalence Ratios (PR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) of the relationships between the pandemic and socioeconomic, clinical, and quality-related factors.
