Uprety A, et al. - Through a single institution observational study in Kathmandu, Nepal, which included 3,520 cancer patients admitted to Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (April 25, 2013, to April 24, 2017), experts evaluated the impact of the 2015 Nepal earthquake on the admission of patients with cancer. In comparison to that of the pre-disaster baseline, a decline in the total admission number in the first month after the earthquake was observed, indicating a drop in the number of patient admissions from outside of the most disaster-affected districts. A consistent increase in the admission number of the pre-disaster baseline for the remaining post-disaster period was noted the second month. Among those from outside the most troubled districts, the continuation of elevated admissions was most pre-eminent, in comparison to the month of the disaster. Overall, following a transient decrease immediately after the 2015 Nepal earthquake, there was a long-term increase in cancer patient admissions in a core hospital in Kathmandu. These changes were most prominently observed in patients from outside the most disaster affected areas.
