Sažetak
The aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of World War I on public interest in medical topics, as reflected by the contents of a Croatian magazine. Sixty issues (30 before and 30 after the declaration of war) of the Croatian weekly news magazine "Ilustrovani list" were analyzed, and the number of pages dedicated to medical topics was calculated. The results demonstrate that the number of medical articles increased substantially after the war began. The total number of pages concerning medical issues was seven times greater during wartime than before war broke out (P < 0.001). We conclude that on the basis of publications in a news magazine, public interest in medical-related subjects increased during World War I. The potential impact of this finding on health- related policies and biomedical research of that era requires further exploration.
