| Abstract (English): |
Objective: To investigate whether the intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) administered to non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients has a protective effect against Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Methods: Six hundred and ninety-nine patients with NMIBC were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into 2x2 groups based on the conditions of having received BCG treatment and having had a COVID-19 infection. The normality of the distribution was analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Statistical relationships between the groups were analyzed using the chi-square test. P |

Amaç: Kas invaziv olmayan mesane kanseri (KİOMK) hastalarına uygulanan intravezikal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin'in (BCG) Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019'a (COVID-19) karşı koruyucu etkisinin olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Yöntem: KİOMK'li 699 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastalar BCG tedavisi alma ve COVID-19 enfeksiyonu geçirme durumlarına göre 2x2 gruba ayrıldı. Dağılımın normalliği Shapiro-Wilk testi kullanılarak analiz edildi. Gruplar arasındaki istatistiksel ilişkiler ki-kare testi kullanılarak analiz edildi. P |
