Google trends 2020 united states10/4/2023 Further studies are needed to determine whether Google Trends is a reliable tool for investigating trends in public interest in cardiovascular disorders. There are several limitations to our study: 1) Google trends does not measure the prevalence of the condition but measures the relative interest in search terms which is influenced by factors associated with internet usage 2) inability to measure the absolute number of searches within a region 3) governmental control of search engines and language barriers could also impact the full spectrum of searches across the region and 4) lack of information from other search engines. The association between COVID and myocarditis may have been noted prior to first case report published in early April, as evident by small increases in search in “covid myocarditis” around March to April (Fig. The increase in relative search volume of “myocarditis” and “covid myocarditis” in COVID era around August to September 2020 could be attributed to increased awareness and knowledge about the COVID related cardiovascular complications including myocarditis over time or underreported cases of SARS-CoV-2 induced myocarditis. In our study, we used a novel, publicly available tool to assess the interests in the search terms related to COVID and myocarditis. d US state wise interest in the search term “covid myocarditis” c Worldwide interest in the search term “covid myocarditis”. ![]() b Relative search volume of “covid myocarditis”, “covid-19 myocarditis” or “coronavirus myocarditis” from February to October 17th 2020. (Fig.1d 1d).Ī Relative search volume of “myocarditis” from 2018 to 17th October, 2020. In the United States, RSV for “covid myocarditis” was highest in New Hampshire followed by Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Oregon and Kansas (Fig. ![]() The top 5 countries with highest search hits were Ireland followed by United States, Canada, United kingdom and India. Figure Figure1c 1c shows the search hits across the globe for “covid myocarditis”. Amongst the COVID and myocarditis related terminologies, “covid myocarditis” was the most popular search term from Feb to October 2020 (Fig. There was a significant rise in the search hits for “myocarditis” from 2018 to October 17th 2020, beginning around August 2020, peak in September 2020 followed by decline in October 2020 (Fig. Geographic trends for the search query “covid myocarditis” were plotted across the world and the United States. We also conducted a Google Trend analysis in the COVID era from 1st February, 2020 until 17th October, 2020 for the following terms: “covid myocarditis”, “covid-19 myocarditis”, “coronavirus myocarditis”. We performed Google Trends search on 17th October, 2020 to observe trends in the internet searches for “Myocarditis” from 1st January, 2018 until 17th October 2020. The region with the highest proportion of searches will have a RSV of 100 and other geographic areas will have RSV in relation to this. Second way is the popularity of a search term over the mentioned time period and can be compared between geographic regions. For example, an RSV of 10 would indicate that search term was 10% as popular as it was in the most popular week. The most popular week has a RSV of 100 and all other weeks are reported relative to the most popular week on a scale from 0 to 99. ![]() ![]() RSV can be measured in two ways : first is the popularity of a search term in a given week relative to other weeks in the mentioned time period within a geographic region. Google trends measures “popularity” or “interest” of a particular search query in relative search volume (RSV). We aimed to assess the worldwide interest in myocarditis in the COVID era using Google Trends.Īccounting for 75% of internet searches worldwide, Google Trends is a useful platform to observe trends over time and global and regional variations in interest on a particular topic. The prevalence of myocarditis in COVID patients is unclear, however reports suggest around 7% of deaths in COVID patients is secondary to myocarditis. Myocarditis can have a wide spectrum of clinical presentation ranging from mild symptoms including fatigue, chest pain to life threatening complications including cardiogenic shock, ventricular arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) related myocarditis is thought to be secondary to “cytokine storm” or direct viral injury. Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart characterized by inflammatory infiltrates and myocardial injury without an ischemic etiology. Currently, there are 39.8 million cases and 1.11 million deaths reported from the disease worldwide. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by World Health Organization on 11th March 2020.
