Summary
Mumps cases in Poland significantly increased in 2022, rising 90.5% from 2021. While higher than during the pandemic, 2022 mumps incidence remains below pre-COVID-19 levels.
Area of Science:
- Epidemiology
- Public Health
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Mumps (Sudden parotitis) is a contagious viral illness posing a significant public health risk.
- Mandatory measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination was introduced in Poland in 2003.
- Pre-vaccination, mumps presented a substantial threat to public health in Poland.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the 2022 mumps epidemiological situation in Poland.
- To compare 2022 mumps data with previous years.
- To analyze the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on mumps epidemiology.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of official Polish epidemiological data for 2022.
- Review of "Infectious Diseases and Poisonings in Poland in 2022" bulletin.
- Review of "Vaccinations in Poland in 2022" bulletin.
Main Results:
- Poland registered 922 mumps cases in 2022, a 90.5% increase from 2021.
- Overall incidence rose by 84.6% to 2.4 per 100,000 population.
- Highest incidence occurred in children aged 0-9 years and in the Mazowieckie voivodeship.
Conclusions:
- 2022 saw an upward trend in registered mumps cases in Poland.
- Pandemic-related restrictions in 2021 temporarily reduced droplet-transmitted disease cases, including mumps.
- Despite the increase, 2022 mumps cases remained lower than in the pre-pandemic year of 2019.

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:
