The Emilia Romagna (ER) region, Italy, in March 2020 has seen one of the largest and most serious clusters of COVID-19 in the world. In the period of 30 January to 31 May 2020, the number of paediatric emergency department presentations in Bologna, ER, decreased by 50% compared with the same period of 2019. Visits declined for every age group, with a decrease of 35%, 55% and 46% for the three age groups 0-2, 2-10 and 10-14 years, respectively. The admission rate increased from 5% to 13%. Fewer non-urgent attendances, alongside a decrease in seasonal infections due to the lockdown, appear to be the main reasons.
意大利艾米利亚-罗马涅(ER)地区在2020年3月出现了全球最大、最严重的新冠病毒疫情聚集性感染之一。在2020年1月30日至5月31日期间,ER地区博洛尼亚的儿科急诊科就诊人数与2019年同期相比减少了50%。各个年龄组的就诊人数均有所下降,0至2岁、2至10岁和10至14岁这三个年龄组的就诊人数分别减少了35%、55%和46%。住院率从5%升至13%。非紧急就诊人数减少,以及因封锁措施导致季节性感染减少,似乎是主要原因。
