正文(英文) | There have been big reductions in people attending hospital A&E departments in England since the COVID-19 pandemic began, according to a new report. The report looked in detail at the number of people attending Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments in two hospitals in Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, as well as at the wider picture across English hospitals. “The altered use of emergency department services by the public is a very worrying development that has to be addressed urgently.” Dr Michaela Vollmer Report author Across London, there was a 50 per cent decrease and nationally a 53 percent decrease in people attending A&E. In addition, non-COVID-19 admissions from A&E at the two Imperial College Healthcare hospitals declined by 48% compared to previous years. Report author Dr Michaela Vollmer said: “The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has highly affected the emergency-care seeking behaviour of patients in England. The altered use of emergency department services by the public is a very worrying development that has to be addressed urgently.” Dr Paolo Perez-Guzman, another author of the report, added: “We find strong indications of decreased emergency department attendances to Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and the rest of England, especially amongst younger sectors of the population. Factors underpinning these negative trends and strategies to reverse them warrant urgent investigation.” Report 29: Impact of COVID-19 on emergency department attendance is available on the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis COVID-19 reports web page |
