We studied the changes in presented health problems and demand for primary care since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the Netherlands. We analyzed prominent symptom features of COVID-19, and COVID-19 itself as the reason for encounter. Also, we analyzed the number and type of encounters for common important health problems. Respiratory tract symptoms related to COVID-19 were presented more often in 2020 than in 2019. We observed a dramatic increase of telephone/e-mail/Internet consultations in the months after the outbreak. Contacts for other health problems such as prevention and acute and chronic conditions plummeted substantially ( <0.001); mental health problems stabilized.
我们研究了自 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)在荷兰爆发以来呈现的健康问题变化和对初级保健的需求。我们分析了 COVID-19 的主要症状特征,以及 COVID-19 本身作为就诊原因。此外,我们还分析了常见重要健康问题的就诊次数和类型。与 COVID-19 相关的呼吸道症状在 2020 年比 2019 年更为常见。我们观察到在疫情爆发后的几个月中,电话/电子邮件/互联网咨询急剧增加。其他健康问题(如预防和急性、慢性疾病)的接触量大幅下降(<0.001);心理健康问题保持稳定。
