BACKGROUND
Public health measures combatting the COVID-19 pandemic also led to a decrease in other pediatric respiratory illnesses. We describe the local pattern of pediatric respiratory hospitalizations in southeast Wisconsin prior to COVID-19 and during the first year of the pandemic.
METHODS
We performed a cross-sectional examination of hospitalizations for asthma, bronchiolitis, and bacterial pneumonia at a single tertiary children's hospital prior to COVID-19 through the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
RESULTS
We found a significant decrease in the average monthly hospitalization rates prior to and during COVID-19 for asthma, bronchiolitis, and bacterial pneumonia ( < 0.001), with average percent decrease of hospitalizations per month of 48%, 78%, and 47.7%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The decrease in hospitalizations is likely multifactorial and related to public health measures, behavior changes, and other epidemiological factors.
背景
抗击 COVID-19 大流行的公共卫生措施也导致了其他儿科呼吸道疾病的减少。我们描述了 COVID-19 之前和大流行第一年期间威斯康星州东南部儿科住院治疗的当地模式。
方法
我们对一家三级儿童医院 COVID-19 之前的哮喘、细支气管炎和细菌性肺炎住院情况进行了横断面检查，直到 COVID-19 大流行的第一年。
结果
我们发现哮喘、细支气管炎和细菌性肺炎的平均每月住院率在 COVID-19 之前和期间显著下降（<0.001），每月住院率的平均百分比分别下降了 48%、78%和 47.7%。
结论
住院人数的减少可能是多方面的，与公共卫生措施、行为改变和其他流行病学因素有关。
