OTHER	impact of COVID-19 on Health-Seeking Behaviors	The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on medical services is overwhelming due to limited medical resources. During its initial surge in 2020, Italy's government rapidly established diverse public actions, which helped maintain the medical supply. However, whether the fear of being infected with COVID-19 interfered with health-seeking behavior (HSB) remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate whether pelvic inflammatory disease rates were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
