Catalan COVID-19 health care caseload due to COVID-19 and its rolling correlation with incident cancers from the Catalan Pathology Registry (CPR) during the pandemic. Conventional and ICU beds occupancy and primary care caseload due to COVID-19 are shown as a weekly average. CPR specimens are per week. Shaded bands represent the rolling correlation and 95% confidence interval. Shaded bands containing 0 (horizontal line) are statistically not significant. ∗Significant Pearson’s correlation coefficients (R): R_{ICU 1st wave} −0.91 (−0.98 to −0.70), R_{Conventional beds 1st wave} −0.91 (−0.99 to −0.48), R_{Primary care 1st wave} −0.91 (−0.97 to −0.75), R_{ICU Summer 2020} −0.68 (−0.88 to −0.28), R_{Conventional beds Summer 2020}: −0.56 (−0.83 to −0.09), R_{Primary care 5th wave:} 0.48 (0.02-0.77). COVID-19 pandemic waves: (i) 1st wave, 14 March-20 June 2020; (ii) summer 2020, 21 June-30 September 2020; (iii) 2nd wave, 1 October-23 December 2020; (iv) 3rd wave, 24 December 2020-25 March 2021; (v) 4th wave, 26 March-1 July 2021, (vi) 5th wave, 2 July-31 October 2021, and (vii) 6th wave, 1 November 2021-31 January 2022.
