Abstract

A pneumonia outbreak of unknown origin was reported in Wuhan, China in late December. This virus, called coronavirus-2, has an impact on the respiratory tract, leading to acute respiratory syndromes. In 2020, this virus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization since it caused a high number of deaths worldwide. In addition, this pandemic has had a negative impact on the world economy, focusing the attention of the practitioners on the resource management in health structures. This work was carried out to evaluate the effects of the pandemic on the ordinary hospitalization activities of the Department of Ophthalmology at “A. Cardarelli” based in Naples (Italy). The dataset was evaluated using statistical analysis techniques and logistic regression. The results, for this department, did not show significant differences when comparing the health variables of the pre-pandemic year (2019) with the pandemic year (2020).
