Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemisi sırasında halkın kas-iskelet sistemi belirti ve rahatsızlıklarına olan ilgisini, Google verilerini kullanarak değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Genel kas-iskelet sistemi belirtileri ve omurga, boyun, bel, omuz, dirsek, bilek, el, kalça, diz, ayak bileği ve ayak belirtilerini/rahatsızlıklarını içeren geniş bir arama sorguları yelpazesi oluşturduk. Google Trends'te, Türkiye için belirlenen 108 sorguyu 'Tüm Kategoriler' içinde ve erken ve ilerleyen dönem olarak 2 farklı zaman aralığında (15 Mart-4 Temmuz, 5 Temmuz-26 Aralık 2020) arayarak önceki 4 yılın (2016-2019) benzer zaman aralıklarıyla karşılaştırdık. Bulgular: COVID-19 pandemisinin erken ve geç dönemini; önceki 4 yılla karşılaştırdığımızda, erken dönemde 108 arama sorgusundan 12 tanesinde (eklem, kol, bacak, boyun, bel, omuz, dirsek, el, parmak, ayak, topuk ağrısı ve karpal tünel) istatistiksel anlamlı artış, 37'sinde azalma görülürken, 59'unda bir fark gözlenmedi. Geç dönemde ise 108 arama sorgusundan 17'sinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı artma, 27'sinde azalma görülürken 64'ünde fark gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Türkiye'de COVID-19 pandemisinin başlangıç evresinde kasiskelet sistemi belirtileri/rahatsızlıkları ile ilgili internet üzerinden arama hacmi azalmış iken, ağrıları sorgulayan verilerin arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Pandeminin ilerleyen döneminde ise arama sorguları önceki yıllarla aynı seviyeye çıkmış; ek olarak yine ağrıyla ilgili sorgulamalar artmıştır. Bu bulgular, halkın gereksinimlerini görmek ve bu gereksinimleri kas-iskelet sistemiyle ilgilenen uzmanların ve yöneticilerin bilgisine sunmak açısından yardımcı olabilir.

Objective: To investigate the public interest in symptoms of musculoskeletal system and disorders during coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by using the Google data. Material and Methods: We set a wide range of search queries including general symptoms of musculoskeletal system and symptoms and disorders of spine, neck, low back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot. On Google Trends, we searched for 108 search queries, within Turkey, in 'All Categories' for two different time intervals as early and later period (15 March-4 July ve 5 July-26 December 2020) comparing the similar time intervals of previous four years (2016-2019). Results: When we compare the queries in COVID-19 pandemic with the previous 4 years; we found that; 12 of 108 queries (joint, arm, leg, neck, waist, shoulder, elbow, hand, finger, foot, heel pain and carpal tunnel) showed a significantly increase, 37 queries decrease and no difference was observed in 59 queries in early period. In later period, 17 of 108 queries showed a significantly increase, 27 queries decrease and no difference was observed in 64 queries. Conclusion: In Turkey, during the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is observed that; Google search volume about musculoskeletal system symptoms and disorders decreased while search volume about pain increased. During the later period, search volume increased to the same level as in previous years additionally search volume about pain increased again. These results may help to see the needs of the public, presenting these needs to specialists and managers dealing with musculoskeletal system.
