The impact the COVID-19 pandemic on urology literature: a bibliometric analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused wide-reaching change to many aspects of life on a worldwide scale. The impact of these changes on peer-reviewed research journals, including those dedicated to urology, is still unknown.

A total of 428 COVID-19 articles and 14,874 non-COVID-19 articles were collected. Significant differences in the duration of all the publication stages were found between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 articles (all p <0.001). The most productive countries were the USA (100 articles), Italy (59 articles) and the United Kingdom (55 articles). The published literature has focused on four topics: COVID-19 genitourinary manifestations, management of urological diseases during the pandemic, repercussions on quality of life and impact on healthcare providers.
A significant reduction in peer review time for COVID-19 articles might raise concerns regarding the quality of peer review itself. USA, Italy and UK published the highest number of COVID-19 related articles. Restrictive measures taken by governments to reduce the spread of infection had a strong impact on mental stress and anxiety of patients and healthcare professionals. A coerced deferral of diagnosis and treatment of emergencies and uro-oncological cases represented the most challenging task from a clinical standpoint.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2080-4806</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 2080-4873</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2080-4873</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.5173/ceju.2021.291</identifier><identifier>PMID: 35591965</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Poland: Polish Urological Association</publisher><subject>Anxiety ; Bibliometrics ; Bladder cancer ; Cancer surgery ; Coronaviruses ; COVID-19 ; Disease transmission ; Infections ; Medical research ; Mortality ; Nephrology ; Pandemics ; Peer review ; Prostate cancer ; Publishing ; Quality of life ; Review Paper ; Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ; Trends ; Urology</subject><ispartof>Central European journal of urology, 2022, Vol.75 (1), p.102-109</ispartof><rights>Copyright by Polish Urological Association.</rights><rights>Copyright Polish Urological Association 2022</rights><rights>Copyright by Polish Urological Association 2022</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c345t-e89f405ad4dfdb838046dd66a28b5ea36759ca32f64efe306728d1023e1835ac3</citedby></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9074064/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9074064/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,315,728,781,785,886,4025,27928,27929,27930,53796,53798</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/35591965$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Crocerossa, Fabio</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Visser, William</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Carbonara, Umberto</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Falagario, Ugo Giovanni</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Pandolfo, Savio Domenico</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Loizzo, Davide</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Imbimbo, Ciro</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Klausner, Adam P</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Porpiglia, Francesco</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Damiano, Rocco</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Cantiello, Francesco</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Autorino, Riccardo</creatorcontrib><title>The impact the COVID-19 pandemic on urology literature: a bibliometric analysis</title><title>Central European journal of urology</title><addtitle>Cent European J Urol</addtitle><description>The COVID-19 pandemic has caused wide-reaching change to many aspects of life on a worldwide scale.
