- W4308136520 abstract "Abstract Background The collateral damage of SARS-CoV-2 is a serious concern in the Emergency Medicine (EM) community, specifically in relation to delayed care increasing morbidity and mortality in attendances unrelated to COVID-19. The objectives of this study are to describe the profile of patients attending an Irish ED prior to, and during the pandemic, and to investigate the factors influencing ED utilisation in this cohort. Methods This was a cross-sectional study with recruitment at three time-points prior to the onset of COVID-19 in December 2019 ( n = 47) and February 2020 ( n = 57) and post-Lockdown 1 in July 2020 ( n = 70). At each time-point all adults presenting over a 24 h period were eligible for inclusion. Clinical data were collected via electronic records and a questionnaire provided information on demographics, healthcare utilisation, service awareness and factors influencing the decision to attend the ED. Data analysis was performed in SPSS and included descriptive and inferential statistics. Results The demographic and clinical profile of patients across time-points was comparable in terms of age ( p = 0.904), gender ( p = 0.584) and presenting complaint ( p = 0.556). Median length of stay in the ED decreased from 7.25 h (IQR 4.18–11.22) in February to 3.86 h (IQR 0.41–9.14) in July ( p ≤ 0.005) and differences were observed in disposition ( p ≤ 0.001). COVID-19 influenced decision to attend the ED for 31% of patients with 9% delaying presentation. Post-lockdown, patients were less likely to attend the ED for reassurance ( p ≤ 0.005), for a second opinion ( p ≤ 0.005) or to see a specialist ( p ≤ 0.05). Conclusions Demographic and clinical presentations of ED patients prior to the first COVID-19 lockdown and during the reopening phase were comparable, however, COVID-19 significantly impacted health-seeking behaviour and operational metrics in the ED at this phase of the pandemic. These findings provide useful information for hospitals with regard to pandemic preparedness and also have wider implications for planning of future health service delivery." @default.
